Why don't you go ahead and post a point by point comparison of why our contract is so bad? You can't because you have no idea what is in our contract and babble on like a lemming because everyone is "so mad" about the pay caps.

The ONLY things we changed in our new TA was the caps, and insurance.

I just posted about this and I'll do it one more time because when someone posts reasonable facts and un-emotional comments everyone ignores them because they can't argue with them. Just like the post I made about a page ago.

Our pay is middle of the road with the caps. Yes, I cannot argue with that. However, its not even close to the bottom and if you add in our industry leading 401k compensation, it is pushed a lot closer to the top than people here want to acknowledge or even have any idea about. Being in the middle of the road is not a bad place to be. I'd rather be at the top of course but our overall compensation is HARDLY a detriment to this section of the industry. Also, being at the very top compensation wise, of the regionals has a pretty extensive history of being bad for that particular airline.

Insurance: Yes it went up.......It went up 8 dollars a month for a single and 40 dollars a month for family. That is at the absolute max and that will not occur for another 3 years. MY INSURANCE WENT DOWN FOR 2014. Again, hardly creating downward pressure on the industry. 8 bucks........

The thing that no one mentions is the 10 years. That is unfortunate and IMO the worst part. It is the reason I voted the way I did.

So here it is again......I WANT YOU TO POST A POINT BY POINT COMPARISON OF WHY PSA'S CONTRACT IS WORSE THAN OTHERS.

FWIW I used our terrible contract to get 18 days off with xmas/new years off for december. If I add ANYTHING it will all be 1.5x pay.

Have at it.
