Everyone wants to know whats "in it for them specificially". Thats fine.
Just remember if ur on reserve or a g line guy, u can also be displaced to a different pay anding AC, as well as going back to reserve due to decreased staffing.

This deal doesnt do much except get more money to the mgmnt selected groups to get enough votes tomassure passage. They have that. His pilot group has shown time and time again, whats in it for me.. Great, now pull up the ladder!

From a narrowbody barely a lineholder guy, less widebody staffing could mean bumps/displacements possibly and then i go back on reserve with crappy rules, all bc stuff rolls downhill. Ill pass. So thats just a perspective from a petty little narrowbody guy at the g line. We're not "creating jobs". We are working harder for petty monetary increases

This extension needs to be seen in the same regards as the current contract and shouod be worth 1/2
Wasnt the current contract worth approx a billion, so how does the $ equate to over 500 million, and that truly means, nothing has changed bc we got ZERO work rules..... Zero
Abe u ever seen a company need something so bad they get a deal done so quickly. Hey need this more than we need it. Thats a fact!
Somto me it equates to an extra 10-13k as a lineholder after taxes. Sorry but the potential downside is worse than that time value of money.
They will be back with work rule improvements if it doesnt pass, but it will

What a sad state of affiars
