It basically sounds like they are getting everyone prepared to be presented with a below industry standard contract, and to make the case that this is as good as it gets. Take it and get some minor pay increases and modest QOL increases; or leave it and stay at the status quo for another six years. NLRB will never authorize a strike, and the company doesn't have any ability to go back and re-negociate their contract rates on the awarded flying they have. If the margins are truly as thin as they say there is really nothing more that can be done. Either the company closes down, accepts unsustainable labor costs and they goes BK again. I don't see them getting any of our Major parterres to pay more for our product. Especially when they have wholly-owneds that they can shrink and grow easily. If American made an announcement of a huge shift in flying back to Envoy they would have no problem filling classes either. Same will happen if United awards those other E-175 to another regional. Guys will leave in droves to chase the quick upgrade, especially if it comes with better pay, qol and flow or interview potential.

Commas? "If your reading this Its too late". Look that up. "Energy". Who are the nerds? It's my song for anyone who thinks they're cool calling people nerds in a airline forum because they're not in your circle jerk!����
