Second Case (#3 Magic Carpet Airlines) This case describes the bargaining process from the perspective of the League of Flight Attendants (LFA) union negotiators, as they sought their second contract against Magic Carpet Airlines (MCA). It describes the steps the negotiating team members followed as they identified their bargaining objectives and pursued them through collective bargaining. Because of the confidential nature of the bargaining process, all names, dates, conversations, financial data, and figures used in this case are disguised. However, the survey data are real.
- What concepts/aspects from week 3 readings or previous weeks’ readings(ch.1-4) apply to the Case?

The Questions for your Case review are only focused on Part A of the Magic Carpet Airlines Case. I will also share Parts B-D (optional to read) in case you would like to read further on what happens in the case.
