Their CBA is till 2024. Also, how bout this....
Would you rather have Endeavor rates now but be forced to accept:
Junior Manning
NYC Co-basing
A reduction to 4 hours min day
A 30% increase in insurance premiums
Zero dollars HSA company contribution
An average line award of 76 hours (vs 87 at RAH) while averaging the same days off (14)
Truly objective apples to apples comparisons don't just include pay rates.
Endeavor took their bonus and turned it into pay rates (which was very smart) and by working more than 80 however many hours a month will make more with their new pay rate than what their bonus paid out. How long have they been paying that bonus which has put their pay well above ours? Years! Now our union is telling us that it's ok though because in a couple of years we will pass them. How much changes between now and then? It sound like most of those things that you said we'd be forced to accept have been debunked by endeavor pilots. All in saying is something along the lines of a bird in the hand vs 2 in the bush.
