They put about $100K per pilot on the table between now and 2018, but that doesn't quite meet what a lot of people wanted. Beats what we can get, but not a lot of people have made the transition from desires to achievable results. There, the MEC failed us.
Complete misread and utter incompetence on your part Sink r8. Wrong from top to bottom.

Truth is we don't know what was in the survey. I can only go by what my reps and the NYC reps said when they stated the TA did NOT meet the survey demands, or the reps' direction.

You don't know that. I'll bet nobody was asking for money early...just money and no concessions. But since I haven't seen the survey either, I'm guessing as well.

And THAT'S the problem Sink r8. The negotiators DIDN'T follow the direction of the MEC. We wouldn't be here now had they done so.
