AFW,

Don't confuse being a team player for someone willing to take a crappy deal. Both FDAs are ultra expensive and if the company wants to place pilots there, they need to spend some extra money. It really is that simple.

If you want to be a team player, then think about voting NO.

Here is why:

I think we can get a better deal if we work together. Renegotiate the LOA, improve the money involved and clear up the details. This is the most vague LOA I believe I have ever seen. Contracts should be clean, this one is absolutely not.

If the company elects to fill the FDAs under the current CBA, we all have an opportunity to bid it. If people choose to be "team players," then we won't bid it. Of course this won't happen, so those folks choosing to go under the current CBA get what they deserve. If they want to be team players, then a better deal will happen.

Give the union some "leverage" and vote down this turd....
