I also want to live in base (NY). I have an interview with Republic next week just as an option. I guess my real question is, do you think this "new" contract will have any hope at making a lateral move like this worth it? I'd only make the jump for a LGA base, so I'm shooting for Shuttle. I live 45 minutes from JFK/LGA. Anyone have cliffnotes on what the TA might look like?
The TA, if anything like the LBFO that was offered almost a year ago, will be regressive. Perhaps better pay rates but reductions in QoL and all other categories to compensate. Of course, I'd say we'll burn the place down before we vote in concessions, but I'm no longer confident.
1. The company is desperate for some reason
2. The new negotiators didn't just walk in and hand over our proposal then walk out
3. Since 2. we must be retreating from our proposals or asks over the last 7 years.
If you've read this far I don't think we'll see a new CBA before June anyway. Finally, with the division taking over the negotiations, nobody has any idea what they'll produce.
