I think the NC did the best that they could and I applaud their service to the group. It was up to us to send that TA back due to lower than industry standard pay across the board especially year 1. Not getting 16% retirement day one. Below industry standard scope. Not getting a retirement contribution while out on LTD. Getting PBS without knowing what was in it. Not getting profit sharing. Having a 5+++++ year term with no raises after and/or snap up provision.

We had too many that just couldn’t see past their signing bonus and the fact that delta pilots are getting those checks every year not every 8.

Listen I make a good bit more under this CBA but the facts above remain. And facts are facts. The other fact is I’m about two months away from not bidding rsv on purpose anymore because there is absolutely no way to guarantee which rap you’re going to get even if you are the most senior bidder on rsv. It’s a joke. I never dropped or checker-boarded in the last contract but this system is absolute nonsense. And NO, rsv isn’t supposed to suck and and it’s not necessarily supposed to be junior. If an airline stagnates folks could be on rsv indefinitely unwillingly. At many airlines and also with a lot of widebody categories rsv travels far up the seniority list because it’s preferable.

Now some guy that is artificially getting a line because myself and many others are bidding rsv is about to unwillingly end up on rsv when we return to lines bc this system is abysmal for rsv. You can’t even use your vacation as float like everyone else.
