[QUOTE=hockeypilot44;1413822]This post just ****es me off. Are you for us or against us? The new FAR's will make what we are currently doing illegal because it is dangerous so you feel we should give a concession to keep from hurting the company? Again, who's side are you on? The domestic side will flat out being hurt by this. If it was really a make or break item for the company, we could have left the domestic side alone. I'm really tired of hearing about our 12.5 percent raise. It is a 4 percent signing bonus raise followed by a 6.5 percent raise. It's a 10.8 raise rounding up. If you get part of the raise from profit sharing, you don't get to count it. So we get a 7.8 percent raise + 3 percent COLA. We then get two more COLA. We actually gave up scope allowing more regional jets to get this. We failed miserably. I was a hell no vote. The more I think about it, the more it bothers me. Our increase in health insurance next year will easily eat my 3 percent. I'm disgusted. I initially thought a 40 percent raise on day 1 was fair. Then I decided that I was probably being unrealistic so I cut it in half to about a 20-25 percent raise on day 1. I never in a million years thought my own union was going to agree to a 10.8 percent raise in exchange for allowing more regional jets. The fact that our union can't admit it made a mistake really bothers me.[/QUO
