Isnt the greedy action to vote NO and hold out for more Pog?
3%/Profit Sharing/Cheaper Health Care/more PTO/ Bonus?
Or did you mean instant gratification? Greed is good.
I do think its wonderful that you care so much for your peers and the industry, in general though.
This TA is a small improvement from where we are now. I never said otherwise. If you want to call it short term gratification, sure.
However, it is far, far, far below market rate. It raises the bar in pretty much zero areas. Our peers will have a tough time negotiating against it and it thus drags down the industry.
The only good news is that the big 4 pilots have a spine, so while we may hold their raises in check I doubt their pay will be cut. Also, unlike some of us they probably won't be fooled by 2 "shiny penny" sections.
