I've done the math and for me and many others it is a significantly positive contract. Not the one I wanted, but it's not "spun costs" unless you're the guy that gets all of his trips bought every month. I understand why that guy would be ****ed.
I'm not dismissing the reps that are speaking out against it. However I've read what they wrote and have come to a different conclusion.
My flame on comment was referring to the wave of negativity in this echo chamber. Anyone who dare speak up that they see some positives in this TA is labelled a coward, weak, Stockholm syndrome'd, mathematically challenged, or my new favorite....traitor
Please do not destroy the next 30 years of my life. Im asking you to reconsider your decision based on not what we gain, but what we lose. If you think fast money now is worth the loss of widebody opportunities (less money), small narrowbody growth to replace aging larger narrowbody aircraft (less money), seniority stagnation (less money and QOL), the sick policy changes that nobody can admit to liking, less PS, and higher TLV, well then Id like to know how much of a raise would have convinced you to vote yes? 1%? So basically any money now would have been your rational to give up everything else in the contract? This is not a decision to be taken lightly. There are so many strings attached to this TA why risk it?
