I won't go into specifics here, i'm sure he did it to get this latest TA passed. It's atrocious, he knows it but doesn't care. He was out of his league for trying to negotiate with senior management. And this TA is proof. Could i do better? No. But i would hire someone good. Someone really good. The cost would have been far less than what we are dealing with now.


The SAP is the only reason i voted for the contract back in April. I don't believe that F/O pay rates should be in the $20's in 2014. Let alone in 2023.
I would not give back the SAP or critical pay. But my vote means nothing because people would gladly trade what's good in exchange for a carrot.
Growth is good for a short period. After the dust settles and the music stops people are going to have to be comfortable where they are. And being paid at 3-4 year pay for years isn't right.
