Anyone on the P2P Committee will tell you this is unequivocally FALSE! There hasn't even been a TA for the Board or the IBT to supposedly turn down yet.

The guarantee is also 2 hours higher.
The proposed rates are even higher than the hourly rates at Southwest. Of course, we don't fly nearly the hours that Southwest does so they are bound to make more.
What are people calling "bread crumbs"?
It is time to put Omni's proposal into a TA and let us vote. Money can't buy happiness but it sure does help with the bills.

Frank, it is my understanding that the proposed pay scale has already been agreed to. It is other shortcomings not divuleged in the company's bullet point offer and the lack of the parties coming together to resolve those holding up a vote.
