The details aren't out yet, so I will reserve my enthusiasm. I will say, however, that based on the B fund plus the removal of company imposed caps on retirement alone, this is huge for anyone with 20+ years left here like me.
I am also glad they are doing international subset by base, although I am curious to see what this means for switching back and forth between bases.
I know I am not going to be 100 percent happy with everything and that is ok. What I don't want to see are gaping holes in section 1 that is either going to stagnate growth or see Skywest RJs with SWA paint on them. If those holes exist, I am a no.
Otherwise, based on the info at hand, this will pass handily.

Concerning first year pay - amen. It needs a huge boost. I am not holding my breath for retro on that one though. I would expect that I'll get retro (ratification bonus) as described in the brief, 3/4/4 and not for a $30/TFP increase. That alone would be around $35k for my first year here and I just don't see that happening. So, I guess it really isn't retro in that regard.
