I don't understand how some here can think that this petition is a binding document that the NC has to follow. It doesn't force them to do anything. All it does, it shows the company that there are for now 20% of the pilots that will turn down a TA that doesn't have retro pay. It now means that if another 31% are not happy with the conditions offered, they will also turn it down.
It will just be harder for the company to come up with a low tier offer and pass a TA. Remember that a 51% passing TA is a major success for the company.
This petition just gives a boost to our NC in current negotiations.
