You're right, the arbitrators will consider many factors but I for one will not be voting for anything less than industry leading in all three areas. None of us should accept anything less. This pilot group is entitled and deserves the best. It is long overdue. After all, we are the #1 airline in the U.S. by every standard including profit margin. I'm onboard. Are you?
Amen brother. My orange lanyard is on and it's not coming off till a solid JCBA. I walked the picket line in SF the other day. Scope or a no vote. Industry average or better with legacy work rules ad retirement or they can pound sand. "Doing the right thing" is far beyond the capacity of the snakes in management who give themselves raises on the backs of their most important frontline employees. Enough is enough. Nearly everyone holds unanimous views at VX and we are not backing down, nor should any ALK pilot.
It's garbage, and in this negotiating environment...management is gonna get nailed to the f*cking wall.
