Just admit it. The information put out in that Joint Comm was misleading and a fabrication. Because if your vote was determined by those fabrications, then you cast an uninformed vote.

Here's another misleading fabrication:

Joint Comm:

“Between the hourly pay increase and reduced profit sharing payout from 2016, the average pilot will realize a cut in total 2017 compensation of some 2% below his 2016 earnings under current PTIX projections, and his 2018 earnings will be only 1% above that of 2016.”

Rebuttal:

"This is a complete fabrication. Whoever wrote this is trimming the facts to fit their agenda. This faulty analysis fails to take into account the two past changes in pay rates in 2015 combined with the TA pay rate changes."

You would have earned increasing pay every year over the status quo with the TA, regardless of PTIX.

The pilot group as a whole lost $113.4 million in contractual value from July 1st-December 31st. We made 8% less for the last 6 months of 2015, therefore our slice of PS pie is smaller and when determining our FLT and Advance pay to enter into determining our February PS, well that's less too. IOW, we will have a smaller PS check this year. Oh yeah, I'm also making 14.5% less this year until we get another deal, whenever that may be.

Don't worry, the authors of the joint comm promised that they would immediately reengage. Going on 7 months now without a pay raise and counting.
