Sled, as for the "gets" in this TA, I submit that you're picking corn out of something warm and steamy. I don't even know what to say, so I won't waste any time with your opinion. Have a great career.

As for the TA

The pay is marginal. End of contract Pay is industry leading

The scope is a show stopper. Ever see an RJ in SWA colors?

what about DAL and AMR? Do we compete with them? Our scope is the most restrictive vs DAL and AMR

The retro is completely unacceptable and an insult.

I agree with the insult part.

The reserve rules SUCK. 2.5 hours? In DC? In NYC? In SFO? LAX?

That's 3.5 to push or 30 min less than what we have now. AND, if less than 3 hours call out you can park in pay parking and expense it.

Involuntary JM - nope. They need more bodies? Hire them.

at 100% pay premium AFTER they have SRMed for 100% pay premium with no takers. I can live with that. BTW, you mentioned SWA earlier. They have IJA (involuntary junior assigned)

Increased Medical and Dental costs. Concessionary.

agreed.

The training pay is a joke.

3.75/3.0 vs 2.8? A month of transition pays 90 hours vs 84 now. PC pay is 34% higher (3.75 v 2.8)

VACA pay is concessionary.

compared to what we have? that don't make no sense James. 3.25 is a 16% increase.

Add on reassignments
etc
etc
etc

Its up to US now that the JNC has failed us so completely. Get out the NO vote.

7B in unrestricted cash. The only thing "industry leading" was the hubris with which this was unveiled.
