Bottom line, would you rather negotiate your next contract with TA2012 as a basis, or using our current contract as the starting point?[/B]
Just putting a different perspective on this question and I am curious your thoughts.
My thoughts in regards to the jist of your post. Take an immediate modest pay raise and give the company more 76 seat jets.
So let's say that the economy goes TU. Unemployment goes up etc. Maybe the company goes into BK once again, this sounds familiar. The company would more than likely take back any pay raises and be left with more 76 seat jets. Did I mention this sounds familiar?
Of all of the reasons to vote yes on this TA I don't agree with your logic Bar. I'm sure someone can give a good reason why I'm wrong, just my .02.
