I'm still curious to see the final language.

But as far as leverage goes, we do have some but I don't see it as much as some here like to believe, but what is to stop them from getting rid of 747s sooner, putting 787s on those routes and then having codeshare partners fly the routes in question from the FRMS?

Not rectifying the furloughs....seems like they are buying a percentage of a vote with that and even then not the whole group is being made whole on every injustice.

Pay raise....they are sweetening the pot for the <5 years left guys. Would you rather make another 20-40k a year for the next 5, or wait and see what happens for your last 2-3 years, would it be enough to make up for that lost money? Doubt it.

No reserve improvements sounds bogus and I have to believe there has to be something in there or ~20% of the group is affected, granted a portion of them can't vote, or will still go for the $$.

Pay for extension has been battled from both points of view, it'd be nice to be paid for "overtime" but also isn't good to incentivize possibly flying fatigued.

No mention of NSNB aircraft, which may mean they are looking at a deal, haven't disclosed a deal, there is no deal or maybe they just got CS100 rates on the contract officially and possibly bumped the E190/195 rates as well to draw some attention and get Embraer and Bombardier to duke it out for who can come up with the best deal for us.


With all that in mind, what am I missing as far as leverage goes? And if this gets voted down are we potentially giving away widebody flying to codeshare partners?
