Sadly this is a very high IQ post. The union just signed an mou that destroys the craft forever.
Routes will be ‘squared up’ periodically, as they have said in the recent past, thereby locking up routes indefinitely. Routes will be cut and decimated and never allowed to increase. This wasnt the arbitrator’s intention. The union screwed up completely by negotiating poorly and giving away everything and basically ruining rrecs with one MOU. They never seem to look beyond what’s in front of them and can’t foresee what the negative impacts might be.
Might be better off not having a union at all at this point. This was such a devastating mou, I’m likely cancelling my dues from this…
