Now that they've established what you are, they're just haggling over your price.
MD 80 Alligiant Cap. tops at 153.00
Alligiant FO tops at 92.00
Delta Cap tops at 200.00
Delta FO tops at 139.00
Top paying 175 operator or 900's
Nobody is over 3 dollars more at 12 years then PDT's TA and the most is 10.00 more over another 6 years for those that have 18 year scales.
FO side maybe 3-4 dollars more at 4 year cap.
So really???? Vote no to this TA?? Really for damn 3-5 dollars an hour? The risk reward isn't close to worth it.
It will pass and that's that. American wants to get it cost down to eventually own and operate most of it's regional flying. The battle will be fought later down the road but not now. If I were at a contract carrier for American I'd be worried.
It's not a great TA but its good enough to pass for a worn out group that has been through the ringer more then once.
Once you give concessions, they will not come back. The fight is now, not in 10 years. 3-5$ is around 3 to 5k extra in your bank account.
Who cares about Allegiant? Is a different business model.
