I am so sick and tired people defending taking concessions. We need to be getting 10 to 30 % raises to keep up with inflation.
+1. I take casting a yes vote as a personal affront. Capped out FO pay, no non-education debt, not living large by any stretch of the imagination, yet still eating ramen and picking up every scrap of open time I can just to try to balance the budget each month.
This TA would be a personal financial disaster, and people like JoeMerchant make me sick every time I read their stupid rationalizations. Maybe if you had to worry about feeding yourself Joe you'd actually look out for your fellow pilots and vote no. So much for the younger guys being the "ME ME ME" generation... it's guys like Joe, and union guys like EF who keep their 6 hours and get an extra CDO every week. Disgusting.
