If this TA is so fantastic how do you explain the resumed hiring of managers? Calls started going out within two days of the TA announcement. Do they see something we don't or is it going to be another case of "sorry, they got us on that one"? A very wise person once said "Trust but Verify", is it really surprising to you some of us are somewhat suspicious or skeptical? Maybe we have more grievances on file than you? I don't know, just a thought..

I'm glad you're so incredibly excited about the TA, I wish I was in your shoes, I sincerely do. As I mentioned earlier I'll probably vote yes and that's simply because I have respect for our EB, it's right there in my initial post.

Having said that, YES I'm very disappointed about certain aspects of the TA, feel that we should've taken care of people on long term medical better. The fact those who supported junior pilots in the past now won't get any retro/bonus since they've just retired is very bothersome too. There are also other issues I'm less than happy about but I realize no contract can ever be perfect.

However, when it comes to scabs - the survey was idiotic!!! We shouldn't have been forced to pick a percentage of significance to such a critical issue. Period! Remember, the 'total' had to equal 100%

It's a cancer that needs to go and all we did is put bandaid on the surface of the skin. ..but hey, at least we won't be able to support CGN airport workers anymore so managers won't have to cross their picket lines anymore (HUGE gain - for them) - instead we will be doing that.
