I'll take my chances with this contract and no ALV+2 (mandatory additional work), no ALV +15, Reserve Guarantee +2 (more work), current profit sharing (makes up for some of the lost pay), no sick verification program, 255 large profitable RJs (with no NEW state of the art (WiFi, IFE, First class in all) and let the company live with however many 50s they want. All we're going to do is push the pain down the road and it will be even harder later to move the line/bar.

Not sure if I feel it is reasonable, (you have valid points) to leave these significant gains and (not what I wanted) pay raise on the table.... Base hits every time v. fantasy baseball home runs.....

Fortunately away from APC the vast majority of pilots will vote yes on this TA because it is better than the alternative. It is the smart thing to do IMHO.
