Looking at the Delta and SWA rejections of the TA we have to recall they ALREADY were working under a CBA. That’s a foundation of what’s right and wrong in both compensation and work rules. Both TA’s had a glaring flaw that the entire work group could identify and relate as a negative impact.

The proposed AIP/TA is a lightning flash into the present for JB pilots. So, yeah there’s going to be aspects of:”well, that could be better”. You have to look at the short limitation of this agreement and ability to go forward in 2 and 1/2 years when we open things up again. If we send it back, then we just delay the 2.5 years by another 6-12 months. That’s delayed incentive pay, increased per diem pay rate raises and oh by the way the most important 401k.

Q- Your use of a fictional character from a fictional TV series is compelling. But this is reality and Q games of infinite circuitous rebutted argumetns steeped in legal and emotional factoids will cloud the need for clear and positive thinking as we move towards what is the foundation of a brighter future. A CBA
