Alaska Air pilots take strike vote over 'stalled' contract negotiations
CHICAGO, May 24 (Reuters) - Hundreds of pilots at Alaska Air Group Inc (ALK.N) are submitting their final votes on whether to authorize a strike over "stalled" contract negotiations, underscoring growing labor tensions in the U.S. airline industry. (www.reuters.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Greed!
We taxpayers/customers kept them working the last couple years. This is how they thank us.
The increases proposed by the ALPA in this situation are minimal to the hourly cost to operate. This is a case where Alaska wants to be bought out and a new, more expensive contract makes it less attractive to buyers.
No pilots = no schedule = no PAX = no airline. Simple math.
It's not a vote to strike asap. It's a vote to authorize a strike in the future if negotiations fail.
Anyways, it's not as simple as your formula.
Uncompetitive wages & Cost structure = Uncompetitive prices = No PAX = No Airline.
See what I did there, two can play your simpleton mind games.
