company trying to leak things to gauge pilot response. They want their 50%+1. Don't play their game.
Be insulted and pizzed off. It helps the bargaining position at the table. Want proof?
Look at the original offer from Dec 19, 2013 and then look at how much it improved in the TA. It was obviously still a very crappy deal or it would have passed; but that improvement only came because the company sensed the determination and resolve of the pilots that their original offer was an insult. Want a better deal? remain insulted and angry.... at least publicly.
and for pete's sake, don't be discussing things like "well, I'd accept it if they did....." It just hampers our negotiators ability to demand more. We know they read these forums. Their union busters do nothing but negotiations all day, every day. They read these message boards like the tea leaves. Stop giving them information.
email your reps what you want/need in a deal. Chat about it in your crew room. Take the online survery we just sent out. Just don't be posting stuff here that hurts our collective efforts.
Great first post. Hi Jerry.
