Plus you all scream AE had a better deal.... That's BS. No way you agree to 60 planes to eliminate 200 and accept a by definition B scale and tell me that's better.
Further more until Obama Care is implemented none of us know what cost we'll get passed on. That's a huge elephant none of us know.....
Continue on Eagle and PDT guys in a thread that you ultimately are ****ing people off in and probably getting more yes votes because you're building resentment towards your airlines by your behaviour here. Congrats on getting PSA and management more yes votes based on your hijacking of a thread not concerning you.
It doesn't matter if it's better or worse than the AE TA. It's still concessions for a company that is making money. Look at the facts on the AE TA: a yes vote- B scale pay that does not even affect any pilot currently on property, 60 airframes (we know it won't replace the 200 or so 145s but it's better than none as we would get with a NO vote), and increased flow through to AA. This would have, in the short term at least, benefited all AE pilots. a no vote- No guaranteed new airframes now, everything else stays the same for now. You say no way we agree to that even though it would benefit all of us on property?
A NO vote was the right thing still for the sake of this industry and was purely unselfish of the MEC to do it. AE may fizzle but al least well got out with some dignity. PSA needs to step up and remember to not think just of yourselves but the little bit of integrity still left in this job.
