Yes you have identified yourself.

Dude the idea of this forum is to remain anonymous and show some respect to your fellow posters.

This is your first contract at LCAL, calm down there are many more to go in your career and you never get everything (and sometimes nothing of what) you may want.
Actually, there should be a break or comma between SUNY Farmingdale and Aviation High School.

As far as "show some respect".. I have never just come on here and slammed anyone. Problem with "anonymous" posters is they can post anything and everything without fact checking.

Case in point, JSLED posted that Reserves now get 12:45 between rest periods.
I pointed out, exactly in the TA..where we do not.

Alot of guys are going to start coming out of the word work to show the "good" things of the TA (and yes, there are a few nuggets in there).. but posting false info does no one but the YES crowd any good.

Do I expect everything I want in this TA. NOPE.. I have already posted that I expected the Scope section to be a concession. But ALPA National has shown the way>.

Our Union requested that we tell them what we wanted (back in 08). They have also done Wilson Polling a few times. That became our Proposal. Lot of stuff I liked, a few I didn't.
But now, what I see is either concessions or status quo with a few gains.

Right now, someone is starting a webpage to dissect the TA. Once it's up, it will be easy to see the differences between UAL, CAL, JCBA and DAL.

PS> The ALPA Comparison document does a great job of showing us being equal and higher than Delta. Problem is, they are using Oct 2012 as their starting point and don't show yearly raise comparison.
Looking at it... it's easy to say "Hay, we're gonna be paid more than Delta"!
Slow down. We trail Delta until 2015.. and finally exceed them in 2016. Of course, they will probably have a new contract then.
And our rates go till 2017.. meaning we will probably be working under this TA (if it passes) and rates in 2018-2019.
