1. This entire fight was about protecting the top 5-10% QOL at ASA. If i have to explain this you havent been paying attention or worse you are buying into what your mec is saying without doing any critical thinking for yourself. You also voted yes for the last TA which had this PBS agreement in there so why the problem now? Other contracts have been signed elsewhere limiting the pay guide to 12 yr CA and 4 yr FO which means the mother of all "outliers" is now the amount of lifers on the crj list. Welcome back to reality. You work for a regional!

2. Demand a new software? The ASA MEC was presented about 5 different solutions to end this reasonably and fairly and yet here you are. They aren't willing to consider it, didn't want to educate themselves on it, and believed that they would be rewarded by management for making the erj side appear unwilling to negotiate. They weren't negotiating in good faith and even though this PBS agreement is done it will just roll to the next issue that is on the list. Flightline is an old, outdated software that doesn't fit the needs of 2/3 of the combined pilot group. The erj side did their homework and picked their software carefully. Having their opposition still posting half truths and attacking the software based on incorrect assumptions is petty and ignorant. I don't have a very high view of anything down in Atlanta based on our management while I worked at xjt but this spectacle with your MEC is truly embarrassing.
