Our CEO even sent a letter to all pilots saying do not vote this down because this is our best offer. Well it got voted down for the first time ever, and we got MUCH better on round 2. Good luck to you guys however it turns out.
What was your old rate compared to TA1? I might be also willing to vote down and lose out on, say, $10/hr while waiting for TA2 but not $70/hr.
Not when we need the scope protections. Not when we need the LTD. Not when we have 67%+ increase in retirement to lock in now.
Not really an even comparison and thats not even taking into account the NMB situation.
