Cliff's Notes

*Between the most senior pay rates from B-777 Captain to a 12 year B-737 FO...the average pay raise is appx. 5.5%

Add in the 2017 & 2018 3% pay increases and you end up having an 11.5% raise.

Consider the options of turning down TA 2015 carefully.

If disapproved, we can end up going to arbitrage and dragging this out for 2-3 years for only a couple percent more. Then we will be ready for a new contract. Also, the arbitrator's directed to meet just industry standards.


Consider all the facts carefuly and vote wisely!
