As for pay cuts, it's not just rates. They wanted to decrease our per diem, decrease sick accrual, decrease 401 matching, get rid of our OJI bank, decimate our LTD, increase our cost sharing portion of health benefits. All this while the ASA side didn't take a hit on those things or were brought up. Not to mention some scheduling work rules like losing pay to be released from a DH, check in, assignment windows, ACARS notifications, no dr notes for sick calls, etc, all things that the erj side would take a hit in QOL but the CRJ side didn't. So don't tell us we can't have different contract language for two sides because lack of unity! This HUGE concession from one side will breed lack of unity. So instead of preaching lack of unity. All of us should be demanding that no one takes concessions, that's how you create unity!
We were brought up ? Ha that's the funniest thing I ever heard! That TA was a joke. It was ****ty for both of us. That's why we all voted it down. No one should should take concessions. Speaking of that, smartpref is a concession for us. So how can you speak of not taking concessions when you want us to take one in the form of smartpref ?
