The main give back or "concession" if you will, was that there is now a 2-year seat lock for all new hires that are given a documented choice of equipment at time of hire.
If they are just assigned an aircraft (CRJ/ERJ) without being given a choice, there is no seat lock

Don't blame the SKW pilot group, the company voted the graveyard, eeer I mean the new-hires.
SAPA did a backdoor vote in May after the first pay package failed so as to allow new-hires to vote this time around. That's about 600 peeps who were looking at a massive pay-raise, all for twenty seconds of their time to check a box and click submit on the interwebs. I'll bet 99% voted, and 99% of them voted yes.
There's a reason NOBODY else in this freakin industry allows newhires to vote.
Ok, later. Off to airline apps now.

If TG's email didn't sum it up for everyone, it was the classic CC TFAYD. I can't wait to see what flying was already secured and just waiting for this to pass. At least we won't have to shrink now!

It will be interesting when all the senior to mid level line holders have to work more days to pick up the 'extra day off for everyone' clause. Everyone will be working max days.
Talk about unintended consequences.

Supposedly some 3rd party voting software, but again I don't trust anything that SAPA says anymore. The last couple months (probably years) just shows that they give us the illusion of having a say in our career. It's too bad because we have had some good reps, but most bail after taking a peek behind the curtain.

The worst part of this entire POS TA that was voted in is the 15% that didn't vote. There is one, and only one, pilot that I politely asked that he not vote on the TA because he is leaving the company for Atlas 4 days after the vote.
For some reason, 15% of the pilot seniority list doesn't have the huevos to cast a vote concerning their pay or QOL, yet they will ***** and moan about it. I have yet to ever meet one of these pathetic souls....seems every time I ask if someone voted they always say they did vote. If you're not going to vote, and I ask you if you did, at least have the balls enough to be a man and own it.
OO management is sleeping comfortably laughing at the 66% they sold this TA to. And when they are through laughing they are going to celebrate the TA that is being forced down the throat of the 33% that sees it for what it really is. Garbage.

What's even more depressing is the 15% of our peers that couldn't take the time to vote....but you take their damned water away from them or threaten to make the 8 hour rule a 12 hour rule and fecal matter hits the fan. Pathetic. I doubt this 15% visits these forums, but if you do and your part of the 15% that didn't vote....please go bend over and do yourself.

Isn't that true of every pay package that is ratified?

Probably enjoying his summer. Like I was last week. It was nice to be away from everything, but I did miss the whole picture scandal.
I'm going to log off now and go search for my 4 million dollar home I can purchase with this new pay package. Oh wait, that is management that can afford that after locking us into a crappy package for 3 years. Good thing nobody listened to the earnings call where they bragged about how much more flying they are able to suck out of us pilots. Good thing we locked in that E175 at the CRJ 700 rate. Hopefully in 3 years I will have the ability to help the company again after the record profits we make. Or is 3 years when we are finally going to be able to "get paid" Or will we want to "raise the bar" with some little gains and hope the next pay package will be the one??
