Krusty, I disagree, they have made up their minds on how much they would like to pay.
It is the pilot group that will determine our labour rate, not management (within fair and reasonable boundaries) - either by sitting back and being dictated to by a very arrogant management, or by only offering our labour at a fair and acceptable rate.
Hopefully as a group we can come to terms with the fact that we will not see a cent more unless we make it clear to management that they will leave us with no choice but to exercise our right to withdraw our labour if they will not negotiate fair and acceptable remuneration. Just the same as BP will not pump fuel into our SAAB's at a price management would like to pay.
It really boils down to whether there are enough pilots left in the company that actually care about the future T&C's for rex pilots. Those that do not care should NOT vote when it comes time, so as to not dilute the votes of those that care.
BTW, anybody know why this thread has ended up in the GA forum?
