A modest raise to the LXJT contract would the the equivalent to demanding huge pay raises for the ASA contract.
I completely disagree that a modest raise to L-XJT contract is a "huge" raise to ASA guys. Your contract might be a little bit better than ASA's, but both contracts overall are in the same ballpark. ALPA's Economics and Finance Committee or however it's called has the data to prove it.
Anyways it's an irrelevant debate, because the union has released a statement saying they are committed to expediting a JCBA in order to give the company the flexibility and economics to add new growth aircraft like the EMB-175 while maintaining the QOL for all pilots. I stand by the union and that statement.
If you guys want to banter for the next 5 pages about how much better L-XJT's contract is carry on, I'll wait for a TA
