If they throw in some little morale slapping nuggets, like vacation pay only, no credit, or training pay 30 minutes/hr less than the FA's...that won't help. We will know soon, imho. I believe a TA is reached by the end of next week. Whether or not it leaves the MEC will be telling.
The thing I find interesting is most pilots I hear talking want at least UAL in pay. When told that the companies current table position is 2 1/2% above UAL they get a funny look and say really?
