Quit fixating on the money. It's not that great anyway. This TA is well beyond "not perfect". It's a huge concession and robs pilots of something they hold most dear, privacy.
No pilot here is waiting for a "perfect contract". They want something that is fair and deserve some big gains given:
1. The company is doing better financially right now than it has ever done in the history of it's operation as a Going Concern
2. Management has handsomely rewarded themselves. There is enough money to do the same for the guys/gals that move the airplanes.
3. Concessions should not be part of this contract given #1 and #2.
4. The sick policy is far, far overreaching and has the potential to violate the most sacredly held information of a pilot and his family.
5. We need to preserve widebody flying. It's the bread and butter of the flying here and the reason pilots chose Delta over Southwest.
6. Pilots that were on property got raped during bankruptcy and many sent home without a job.
Vote NO!
PS- You are not a pilot.
