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.
Point of clarification. All 3 negotiators are Captains.
That said it is counterproductive to point at any part of the pilot group (WB captains, new hires, whatever...) as likely to sell anyone else out.
