The already own us around 3% of pay raises by the Bk TA and whatever difference is made by 2015. So if RAH pay goes up in their contract, basically we will get a % of raise to match them. Because the new industry standard will go up.

Also we should be now at $2.05 of per diem by our previous contract. In bk we agreed to go down to 1.85 for 2 years with $0.05 increases starting in 2015.

In this TA they will be takin $0.05 and stay at 1.80 for 10 years!!! (Thanks again PSA). By 2025 we should be at $2.35 an hour!!! That's $1,800 difference of what we do today per year (based in 300hrs TAFB per month).

These are serious concessions but our dumb pilots, like Btzzz and others yes voters that think they will be out of here in 2 years don't think about it. When I got hired 4 years ago, I said to myself "the industry is moving quickly I might be out of here in 3 years". I'm still around 400 numbers from upgrading. I won't be out of here for at least 4 more years if I'm lucky.

This TA is not about today, is about the future! Our future and everyone else future!!!!

Open your eyes fellow pilots!!! Eagle is not closing, there are not enough pilots out there to cover our flying. If you jump the ship to other regional, then you're doing management a favor. Go back to 1st year pay.

So, get out there guys and vote. Management will do whatever they want regardless of our vote!
