TSA's TA proposes health insurance contributions to go from 35% (or more) to 29% employee only or 34% employee + others. And, their 401(k) contribution caps at 4% but only at 7 years of service.
Their first year pay is better than what we're being offered... but that could be offset by the "training note" provision MAG has in their TA - and at Mesa, I don't think it's just for new hires but for captain upgrades as well. $13,000 I believe, and one year?
But hey, they get a signing bonus, and annual pay bump of 1.5%.
