Id like to know how you feel COLA and profit sharing trump the QOL/retirement and Scope/Codesharing protections though.
No snark, serious question.
And Im not letting the formula for a 1 time payout influence my vote at all. Other stuff is too important imo.
I actually get excited about the QOL stuff. There’s some really good stuff in there, hence why I can easily swallow it The best part of this job is time off and flexibility. Codesharing is number 1 but as I mentioned in a way back post I don’t see B6 outsourcing it’s brand. It’s the one thing they can still control. The 1 time payout doesn’t sway me either. Just trying to gather numbers
As for COLA & Profit, I feel like those set a precedent on the rest of the career. Profit sharing is the toughest to get back. But as lame as it sounds, I think most of us want to help out, go above and beyond. Kinda of pride thing. With Profit sharing the way it is, it’s our last piece of the pie to keep those greedy a**holes in check so the Bonnies of the world don’t have free reign. And the COLA, it’s just principle. You’re blatantly saying we don’t want to pay you enough to keep up with inflation. And I’d like to see an expiration cliff then. An Auto 2% raise each year after contract expires.
And I thinks it even better for the junior guys which I’ve considered. I do have to plead ignorance for the 190 guys. I’m not sure if they’re getting bent over
