I think the current TA can be fixed with some tweaking. For those of you just looking at pay the work rule downgrades (+2 ALV/TLV, +2 Reserve, ALV +15) are going to result in no hiring (with 717 arrival, with retirements) over the 3.5 length of the this contract. If you believe otherwise then vote yes, I don't, I'm tired of moving backwards in my category.
Yep, thanks to this TA in 2013 we will be significantly overstaffed. They seem to be leaving that little detail out...
Oh, and the entire thing with managements current plan may result in about 220 total additional pilot positions even if all the 717s come.
