Just wondering with very few having such why did you think we'd get it at all? In over four years the company never would give anything..... That last session they finally met us with a min day...... Our lawyer said, who sees, many negotiations, "there was one day the company was going to do such and it happen that last day." He feels strongly it wouldn't have gotten better but worse......
I guess I'm shocked by the bitterness..... We are not legacy pilots..... This entitlement mentality and Christmas list of hopes that frankly will NOT happen shock me.... The fact our NC busted balls, got us significant improvements, put us in a good place moving forward, kept 401k etc intact, insurance in place in a day of Obama care should be met with appreciation..... Instead it's met by complete and utter childish pouting over not getting the biggest truck when you got a darn nice car during very uncertain times......
Btw min day over holiday pay I'll take it..... Ask our FAs about their 401k.... Stop complaining about one thing FAs have, holiday pay, that only honors 3 days....... Min day, 401k, etc are 365 days that many labor groups don't come close to us as pilots here......
Also I guarantee we accept the crappy insurance the FAs, mechanics etc have we could get holiday pay..... But your take home pay will go down significantly and coverage down, and copays way up.......
