I think that is your opinion. And as your opinion is valid.
The reality is that at least in pay this TA does a few things:
- DOS puts us at or above AA rates.
- Amendable date puts all rates above C2K rates. Well above AA.
- Pays out more to pilots regardless of where company profits land. There is still no cap in profit sharing.
- if ratified, the TA will have raised our rates 81.8% since 2008
Those are just facts. You may not like them. Just putting them out there for you and others.
A 50% pay cut requires a 100% pay increase to get to even.
If you are happy hitting 11 year old rates with no inflation, vote yes.
We magically used block hours to get management in balance and lose hundreds of Widebody jobs. For this we got a nickel in per diem.
We screwed all the first officers by taking away their ability to bid all available trips. For this we got 15 minutes of vacation.
This TA has no defense. There was no negotiation, just complete surrender.
