What a woefully inadequate TA given the Billions and Billions of record profits, and the 5 BILLION in stock buybacks announced.

- Inadequate pay raises that are, once again, partially funded by profit-sharing reductions. Those "payraises" alone are a No vote. And didn't donatelli say he heard us "loud and clear" that we didn't want PS touched?

- Flying that we already own, being paid for with yet another concession of additional 76-seat aircraft.

- Only 1% increase in DC, and it doesn't happen until 2017.

- Only a 15 minute increase in vacation pay, and it is no credit.

- $.05 increase in per diem?? Why did they even bother.......

- First Officers who will not be able to bid for 75% of LCA flying, potentially denying them certain holidays/weekends/etc off. Not to mention the staffing hit associated with that.

- The effects of the JV language. Did they really exclude VA? Not to mention the other items.



If this is the NC and donatelli's idea of a "historic" contract given our extreme profitability, I would -shudder- to see what their version of a concessionary contract is.......

Absolute no vote. It is not even close for me.
