I would like to see us ask for a raise equal to the lost salary and a penalty of say 3% on top of that for all pilots to insure future compliance by the company. Probably be about a 3.25% raise.
I would also like to see the arbitrator attach a higher penalty via a additional raise if they do not come into compliance in the next 36 month cycle.
Note: not sure if the above is within the arbitration rules but I hope so.
We need the jobs not a 3% raise. And the last thing we should agree to is another 3 year blank check. They willingly, knowingly, flagrantly violated their own agreement and their own "rules of the road" by not honoring their deals. They just committed a huge act of bad faith, during the "cure period" they had no intention of ever honoring. That can't be rewarded with a 1 year COLA and another 3 year blank check.
