After reading the highlights, my thoughts so far are,

Scope is good. Vacation pay and benefits (If I'm interpreting it right) are good compared to our peers, (meaning we can sell back more than just once per year, and we can fly over if we want, unlike others) however I'm still unsure about the distribution. That's something that will need explaining. I want more information on things like effective deductibles compared to others, and I'm not thrilled at our insurance still. I was expecting more gains (i.e lower health care costs). Also, what's with Section 15? Physical standards? If the company doesn't think you're fit they can send you to a doctor? Is that something we have now, or other airlines have? Also, what defines "Fit"? As far as I understand, if you can hold a medical, you are 'fit' for duty.

I'm not happy about implementation dates though. Section 3 and Section 12 don't go into full effect until 12/31/19, and Section 7 (PTO/VACA) until 1/1/2020.


I'll be waiting for the full TA to be published to make any sort of YES/NO decision.

I was very surprised by the 7-5 vote.
