You have leverage though so I expect to feel dumb when AWAC announces pay raises.
In case you weren't aware, we just voted down a TA that would have bumped first year pay, but would have been a concession for everyone else on the list. We are actively negotiating... Aren't we paid more to fly 50 seaters than you are 70 seaters?
I'm NOT trying to make this a contest between airlines, but maybe I finally got through to you since you are trying this silly tactic.. The better you guys do for yourselves, the more leverage everyone else gets. The worse you guys do (ex: your current contract), the more leverage every pilot loses. Listening to you try to justify sitting on your hands while the company goes around your contract and pilot union in its own interests is...frustrating.
EDIT: you should feel dumb since AWAC gets 1.5% annual pay raise indefinitely per our current CBA
