What we have:
-Wall Street downgrade isn’t going anywhere
-Jaime Baker and friends...
-Operation that’s in the toilet with people still not helping out (except guys like you) bc they are unhappy with this TA. This TA won’t completely fix it when it passes, bc a large number were burned and expected market rate
-fleet review really needs a pilot contract to be complete and aircraft ordered, or at least flown
-economy and pilot contract landscape are still going up...by Jan 1st we will be even further behind our peers (hint: thats leverage)
-if this is voted down, that shows we are collectively not willing to work for less and accept a lagging contract. (another hint: that’s leverage)
-unity: some unity is lost due to the divisiveness this has caused....but fear not. We all want the same thing (well most of us), and that is to be compensated in line with our peers. We are united in that way. If 50.01% of us vote this down, more of us are united demanding more than not. That’s a good thing. Lanyardless guys like you have no unity anyway and don’t listen to the union (thanks for that again by the way).

What we lost: summer. Who cares? Winter is right around the corner. I had pairing changes on all trips except 2 between January and May. 2 pairings were normal. The rest had B-H behind them. Our operation is so effed we don’t need a heavy travel season to cause an irop or other operational issues where pilots can help out.
