The time is NOW!
I didn’t imagine I would start out my career at a Major airline fighting such an important battle against reverse pattern bargaining of work rules.
Increase Vacation-->add :15 pay no credit really? That is pure deception and does nothing more than increase our effective pay-rates NOT a GAIN in QOL.
Increase Training Pay-->:15 Pay no Credit. No QOL Gain
OE Trip drops-->Reverse pattern down to United. Why not let the company assign us our trips without bidding? We cannot let this go. I don’t care how many people if effects, it’s out of seniority trip pulls by the company.
Sick Leave-->QOL loss, no question
Pay Rates-->We should expect the highest pay in the industry. So should everyone that signs a contract during profitable times. That is Pattern Bargaining UP
Work rules will only get more expensive and more challenging to get back with the massive retirements coming. I don’t want to be fighting the next 20 years to get QOL back. The company will be more than willing to pay us more to work more in the future. They won’t be willing to give back QOL work-rules.
The time is NOW to stop the reverse pattern bargaining.
HOLD THE LINE and VOTE NO!
