Serious question- If pay is your biggest concern, why wait it out? We won't be getting legacy widebody rates.
I don't need legacy wide body rates to be content, I won't post what I'd vote yes for (don't know who's lurking). I'm in the base I want, off reserve, and have better qol than most of my buddies at the legacies. Hard to give that up. I have a timeline for resubmitting my apps, and I'll hold to it.
Serious question for you, if you already made good money with 72 hours, why do you need OT?? I think that's the point Joey is trying to make. I can agree an occasional pick up to cover a special toy, but to make that the end all of your vote seems a bit silly to me. Let's say you're a 2011 hire at 5th year pay. Would you give up a quicker $50/hour pay bump in exchange for a longer negotiating timeline and 150%? Everyone's priorities are different, and I totally respect your priorities.
