If the VB plan ever passes, there will be no QoL improvements. They will erode in every contract. 51-53% of pilots (across the entire industry) already place their vote based primarily on pay rates. We talk about how that percentage got us this contract. Imagine what the vote will be like when they’re told, “you can hold out if you want for QoL issues, but it may be 1-2 years. Not only will you not have money in your pocket, but that retirement modeler you counted on didn’t account for years without raises so your retirement plan will be hosed too if you don’t accept this contract now!” Think 51% will be ready and willing to vote for a crappy contract that provides a raise and keeps their new VB plan on track? I certainly do.
