Your posts are getting annoying. Our MEC isn't doing anything to hurt our group. The company wants concessions and is not willing to show any proof that they are warranted. They are stalling this, not the XJT MEC.

The company says your PBS will not be in the new contract. They want a next-gen system like the new Smartpref, so that is why we are testing it for phase two. The company hates your PBS and so we would have to make concessions on it (no mo vaca low) to keep it. No thanks, besides the XJT line bidding is cheaper for the company than your PBS. I'm not taking concessions to keep your awesome PBS and I don't think you want to either. We want this done soon but not at a loss of QOL. I talk to my rep, the NC Chairman, and our MEC chairman regularly and stay informed, it seems your knowledge comes from multiple online forums and line pilot rumors. Until there is a new contract I will keep my 16-18 days off and 3 weeks vacation and also making over 50k a year (almost 7th yr pay) with a 9% 401k contribution from the company for only putting in 5% myself. The ironic part is, because of the new Delta rates, the LXJT side is the only side making money for XJT. Luckily the new AA flying is profitable for ya'll. We all want a new contract and a profitable company but we will not take concessions to make it happen.

Enjoy your PBS while you can because the only one pushing for it is the ASA MEC. The hammer that you keep talking about is just a 3% lost of block hours for LXJT next year and that has nothing to do with Jerry, it is United dropping unprofitable flying. We got extra block hours this year for picking up Colgan flying.
