The firm believes that this will be large enough saving to offset the fixed increase of 15% for pilots, giving extra cost of approximately $400 million.
So, ALPA puts out a list of approximately 60 improvements, and your counter is 11 "cons" of which 2 aren't even true and 3 are actually improvements
It is not the about having more pros than cons. Even if it was only one con, if that con is signficant then it should matter in your vote. The union need to be completely honest about the drawbacks to the agreement as well as the positives.
