I recommend to take the money and buy your own tickets if that’s so important to you. I guarantee you won’t spend that much money.
I wonder if the Omni pilots fell for the same rhetoric about home basing value. Management will always over value talking points, that's their job, to sell us a bill of goods. A perfect example is ATI's brand new flight attendant contract that they passed. Laughing stock of the industry. Their MEC sold the membership down the river and they voted it in ...go figure. We can't afford that, Amazon won't pay for that, your not worth this, we can only pay this etc., etc., the list is exhausting. If the ATI pilots are stupid enough to vote a substandard long term contract in, then shame on them.
