- When you make a big investment like buying a car do you take the first deal they bring to you?
When you vote on this contract think about those things and are we still low cost pilot?
First off, if you listened to the calls they hinted that the pay rates weren't going to change. They wanted other big items that they seemed to have gained last week. Yes the CEO pay went up but you know how the game works. The rich make each other richer, it's just how it works and you can't compare one persons pay raise to thousands of people's raises even if it's totally undeserved BS. Third, if you didn't know Alaska is a legacy already, well....... know you know. Fourth, it doesn't take 3-4 years to negotiate when buying a car and is it worth it to wait maybe another year or more to save a best case 10% on that car? Not saying this deal is great but you have to weigh cost vs gains.
