This T/A happen in 3.5 and is the first contract so no real reason to say the next one would be dragged out for 5. Maybe it will maybe its done early.

The other thing I see a lot of well SWA, Delta, ext all going to go up. Yes Probably but you can't negotiate on a possible future. The NMB will not accept a stance on what may be, they look at what is.

So as it is today, the rates would put us at or above everyone except. United and AA. Will some of the pack move up prior to the end of our contract. Lets hope so that means the market is still moving up. If not will be hard to neg up.

Whether we like it our not this is still a first contract and will not be a WIN WIN WIN. Will it be a good foundation to grow. Does it protect us from the complete stupid that many of us have dealt with over the last few years. Until a contract is in place we are at will employees and the company will continue to change how we are handled at will.

Is the TA worth a Yes vote a no vote, we will see. Hard to lean either way with limited not from union source material.(rumor mill)
