I asked for what % reduction in costs was being asked for the CC to make, Plodding Along said it started at 14% (tks plodd), but prob increased due to 16 aircraft being laid up (22 will be more like it).
If the company was asking for 14%, CC unions may of been able to deal at 8/10% in the early days, but with time sliding by and aircraft being laid up, 14% is prob now 17/19%, these are very big numbers indeed.
I wonder if the company now feels that the best med/long term result will be to play very hard ball with the CC unions and if they fail to agree a plan of action and the cards fall off the table, the end result may be better.
Appears to me, the gap is too big, best of luck to all CC.
