PSA's NC was told that if we did not ratify the offer, the leases on the CRJ200 would not be extended. (shut down starting date 2017) As Envoy has painfully found out, Dallas doesn't say something they are not going to follow through with. Remember, PSA was presented with aircraft in the past. We were told if you say "no" they will go to (Mesa, Republic) and offer them the airframes. We were also made sure that we knew that neither group had to get a pilot ratification. We said no and he did as he said. I know that on the heels of your concessions after BR, you didn't want to take it in the shorts a 2nd time. But, you were no longer negotiating with AMR, you were negotiating with Parker. As you can see and we have known, he does as he says.
As for lowering the bar on a contract, we get an annual bonus that by far exceeds the small increases in medical. 4/12 alone sounds like a concession. It wasn't an issue once the rest of the contract was taken into consideration. SDO and CCP has given an individual the ability to work as little or as much as they wish. Also making more money than anyone on property has seen. I will personally vouch for that.
I am sorry this has bled into Envoy threads, but I would like to clear-up some of these issues with facts.
I voted no because the TA was wrong and was damaging to a contract we just ratified 4 months earlier. It's passing just made me realize that there is no brotherhood.
