If I go pickup during that month and work “like an airline pilot” with 15-16 days off, I’m at: 74 + 20= 94 x 170= $15,980. That’s an “effective rate” of $216/hr, and I call the shots on if I want to work or not. They’re offering me a 10% raise to $237/hr while losing my QOL control to a great extent, all while not earning PS/ESOP/inventive bonuses. And a less-than-stellar 11% DC to start. Might I remind you that this is the BEST negotiating environment we’ll ever see.

No vote from me until the TA, but not impressed by my bullet point math yet
