So if the company wants pay caps and increased health care costs why are we not fighting for duty rigs, more efficient schedules and a real signing bonus? Hell, if endeavor can pull off 30k why am I supposed to settle for 7.5/12.5? Why can't we get a 4.0/day duty rig? It would stop the crap schedules when they are paying guys extra money when I have a 1 leg day worth 1.0 or less. There are other regionals that have duty rigs so don't tell me it's not possible.

All the planes are owned by AAG (thanks TT). That gives them the ability to transfer them anywhere. That goes for TSA, compass, PSA, Piedmont, express jet or whoever else they give airplanes to. This bs will continue for years because we don't own the planes. Word on the street is that the Compass deal is only 2 years. I don't know if that's true but if it is the planes will be moved or they will have to bid for the flying again, they may not see a pay cut but if eagle is cheaper then they will just transfer the planes back.

I think I'm good, another no vote from me. They have created another batch of 9+year FO's (I will be one of them)who will be stuck where they are at currently till upgrade, then only 2 steps as captain to hit 12 yr.

We said no to a much better deal earlier this year, no way I'm going to cave now.
