Stroke yourself, none of my business.

My comments can be summarized as this ... Our Chairman, with all due respect, has lost his original vision of PSP. Since he's continuously in the media, it costs nothing to show appreciation for the 200,000+ employees. Genuine appreciation, not lip service. Hasn't happened.

I believe in the value of true leadership. Maybe you don't. I don't see it at the upper executive level, the SCP level (through the years), or the union level. It's a massive disappointment. So, with that said, I'm ok with it as long as the stage is set and the platform is clear. This is about nothing more than money and corporate/governmental intimidation.

So be it. All I care about is the paycheck, retirement, healthcare, and work rules. This TA falls short in all categories. A COLA pay bump is not a raise. Add taxes and it's even worse. The A fund is now an embarrassing instrument of diminishing returns. The B plan bumps are mediocre at best. The work rules are neutral at best. The whole contract proposal is inadequate. Healthcare costs are unknown and partially degrade any financial gains. Even the Yes voters know it. The problem is they are willing to settle for the short term. That's the way I see it.

I will not apologize for speaking the truth. I will not settle for mediocrity. I believe in principle, discipline, and fortitude. I'm disappointed in the company, the union, and my fellow crewmembers voting yes. We did not fight the good fight for what we all know we've earned. Not an issue of deserving anything. It's what we've earned. We owe it to ourselves and every pilot that follows this path. And I don't give a rats arse what AA, DAL, or UPS are doing.

We're the highest revenue generating pilots on the planet. Our corporation is swimming in money. Off our backs and those of our fellow employees in all divisions. Keep your weak comments and sarcastic remarks.

I'm voting NO because the TA did not meet our objectives. If you vote yes, that's you're right. Just know that you are settling for less than you've earned. You know it and I know it. It's as simple as that.

To those arguing over BS like the lie flat seats, it's a basic reflection of focusing on ants versus elephants. Absolutely no reason the NC should have entertained the subject at all. The HILO and 8-in-24 changes are baffling as well. Concessions for no reason.

Pay, retirement, work rules, and healthcare. Those are the major elements. Focus on them and the answer is clear.

Focus on the short term gains, then you are easily bought by corporate greed and I can't help you.
