Default TA Ratified.

Honest question here and I’m not trying to be a jerk, but how exactly is this TA raising the bar? Parts of it yes but as a whole it appears mediocre to me so I must be missing something. It seems you took some QOL hits in order to get higher rates. You got scope which is great and totally worth it in my opinion but the hourly rates still seem low for the first few years.

I’m a VX/AS guy who is unfortunately now part of one of the most spineless pilots groups around and we just got our a$$ handed to us in arbitration so I’m not trying to act like I’m above any of you, I’m curious and trying to educate myself.


This ta doesn’t raise the bar for anything, there isn’t one single item in it that’s “industry leading” only reason folks voted for this is because of the bonus they offered (IMO). I do feel for the guys at Frontier and JB as this won’t help them at all, considering we voted in basically JB rates

*edit took out the part about the 4 days off
