Loss of what 2% wage increase over 5 years? And how is W2 wage method for fair? It specifically helps those who are senior, and those who go out of their way to pick stuff up, guys bought off for leave and then pick up on another day off, and guys who consistently credit the most hours. Do you need to be reminded how the yes versus no vote went on this issue? All FO reps voted no, all CA reps voted yes. Except the one FO rep who was Captain already, guess how that vote went. And for the record, I was for the time-since-amendalbe-date method. One of the proposals was 50% W2 method and 50% time since amendable date. Even that would have been better. But all that was voted down.
the annual 2% raises we DIDN'T get while the contract was in limbo. Not our longevity raises, our yearly COLA raises. The ones we see on Dec 1 of the new contract. That is what made it fair. I too faired better with the new way, but I still found nothing unfair about the original way for what its original purpose was. i believe the final formula was 50/50 w2/longevity.
