Two out of the four have proven to be sorely lacking. For that reason (and no retro) there is no need to even see the rest of the TA to decide on my vote.
More importantly, we must understand that the when the company needs a contract they will pay up. I believe that that time is now, meaning if we reject this insult of a TA we should see a more realistic counter from the company soon thereafter.
What is everyone else thinking? Respectfully, if you are still undecided please explain. Thanks.
What makes you think the company "Needs" this contract? USAir pilots said that some 7+ years ago. UAL can continue to operate the two airlines separately. They may not have all the synergies, but they'll be laughing all the way to the bank, and the managers WILL get their bonuses. Most of the passengers don't know if they are on a CAL or UAL aircraft.
As for voting YES or NO, please read the ENTIRE document before casting a vote. You can't go by the rumors that are out there now. The Rep's haven't seen the document, so by going in and blindly voting either way without reading it we'll have to assume that you are related to Nancy Pelosi.
