management proposed Alaska rates minus 1%. let that sink in. alaska pilots would have turned down their current rates if they had been given the chance to vote on it, but it was an arbitrator decision so they had to eat that.
furthermore , the concept of pattern bargaining is that you build up on each other cba, meaning , our Alpa proposed rates are not only above current Delta or United, but includes what we assume will be their 2020 and beyond future rates since they start negotiations in a year.
to add insult to the company proposal ,they wanted to have zero work rules to offset that pathetic rate offer, and no profit sharing with zero improvement to our current heath care plans that's worse than walmarts'.
don't forget too that those rates were for a320-321 only, the 190 was offered zero .
we can only hope we reach and impass with NMB release soon so we can shut down this experiment and see the worthless JB management team be fired .
I hope the last few "happy to be here" types finally see this company's true colors.
