If you haven't, go and look at the presentation on g4pilots. It is insane to think we are that uneducated as a group to think these stats should sway us. Many of the slides contradict the attempted point being made.

Codeshare? Why use that? Many of our competitors/comaprison companies don't use codeshare either.

They want to use Hawaiian as a comparison? Not a good idea since the capt starting pay is over $200 and we dont see $200 until year....oh wait, we dont.

Lets take a look at 401k, Hawaiian again has a 15% direct contribution from the company and Alaska has 8, 9, 10 and 11% based on years of service. Spirit gets 9% matching, JB is 5% matching and then 8% direct contribution, but we get a measly 4%, if we contribute 5%.

What about insurance? We pay 100% up to $3500 a year in deductibles plus $300/month in premiums for the privelage to pay that $3500 deductible. Others like Hawaiian and Alaska only pay 20% of medical costs.

One major slide left off the presentation, PROFITS! 51 quarters of profit and the MOST profitable airline in the WORLD! We tout that to the investors but they seem to have left it off the presentation.

But we are home every night, not for our benefit but for the benefit of the company. These are just a couple of issues that are non starters and get quick no vote if they are not in the TA. IBT, listen up and don't present a pile of garbage like other unions have this year. I'm getting tired of these lame "offers" by the company and no word from the union on what we are presenting. Folks I hope you have your finances in order to with stand a strike. We are being watched and if our management is able to splinter or break our solidarity other companies will do the same.
