Your skills are clearly wasted as an equipment operator. Unless that piece of equipment is a calculator apparently.
I think the measure of a dumb-ass is one who would further gut an already gutted contract for a pay raise which is coming anyway in a few months.
Chip will be retiring soon, I think you may have the right stuff to assume his mantle. Bring your calculator.
Yes the pay raise is coming.
But, it will be exactly what I wrote about in the other thread.
Delta must get their new rate by July of this year in order to get anything above what is already published.
Barring that, we're making significantly more under the proposed JCBA then going to arbitration INCLDUING the pay parity. Roughly $1.8 bil more.
This isn't about sliding the pay scale forward one year, its value is much higher than that.
People don't realize that (such as yourself) and my fear is folks will be voting out of ignorance vs fact. That's why I brought my calculator.
