EBA's are a furfie! If management truely had a grasp of this situation, then they would have acted long before.
During the last EAA discusions, a package was put to QLink management that would have gone a long way to restoring some faith. Management in their ultimate wisdom rejected it almost completely. The Pilot negotiating team expressed doubt as to whether such a substandard document would be accepted. Strangely enough the package was accepted, and do you know why? Because the majority of QLink pilots do not see themselves working there in 12 months, so why bother fighting! Management, again in their ultimate wisdom probably thought they had a major win, whereas an opportinity to save their business was idiotically rejected!
Does anyone think the Sunstate EBA will be any different?
The REX EBA is being negotiated as we speak. My guess is the result will also be the same.
