Think they care about stuff at the "lower" end of the contract? They don't.
I'm not happy about the magnitude of the PS change. Hopefully some tough questions will be asked today and tomorrow from the reps.
Don't put this crap on the 'senior widebody captains', most of the negotiators are Copilots!
I can't speak for the Whale Capts. with frozen DB plans (many of them left with the early out packages) but I do know from talking with many 777 Capts. they are in NO HURRY to give away 50% of our profit sharing, or give up more Scope concessions, especially JV concessions like this T/A does with Virgin's flying.
But don't worry, you'll never see those two 3% raises... again.
Bump both of those up to 5%, remove all that Sick Leave Verification nonsense, add 3% to our DC funding, buy us an annuity to supplement our retirement, and then maybe we can take another look at it.
