Well we've been demanding stuff for a couple years now.

I think everyone needs to do the math. If we vote this down, a 5 year captain will be losing over $5000/month, and many captains will be around that number if you just use 72 hours/month.

A 2 year f/o will be losing over 2700/month.

No one knows how long it would take for another TA and if there would be any gains or just a few tweaks and/or more trade-offs. We don't know if we'd need new negotiators, or how long the NMB (who is not on our side) will put us on a shelf. Three months? Two years?

One thing I've learned in my career with 2 major layoffs-you take the money when you can, because it may not be there down the road.

This isn't a perfect T/A but we've got a bird in the hand.
