The end bonus method was still a slap in the face to many of us. It was a way to appear more fair, without actually being that much more fair. Using the date that the original TA was proposed cut out about 50% of my time at the company. The longevity half of the bonus should have been adjusted to the new contract's passing date, period.

I was pretty vocal about this while the vote was going on and I got pulled aside by many union guys to tell me to be quiet. That was after I had adjusted the numbers myself in about 15 minutes and posted that to the old airlinkpilots board.
