Why didn't these productivity enhancements equate to better pay raises for the pilot group, instead of mediocre pay raises for all the groups. I'm tired of playing the socialist game.
So 19% over the next 3 years is mediocre? We got 17% for the current 4 year contract, except this TA has a lot more improvements in other areas as well compared to our merger joint contract. You can debate the scope provisions and additional RJs, but don't forget the addition of 717s, DCI ratio, parking 148 smaller RJs, and other scope improvements.
