It sounds like my points may be a bit misconstrued. Let me try to simplify what im saying.

1.) I hear a lot of “the older group” saying I will only look at an increase to the current A plan. Well, if that is so, why didnt you do that and hold the line on those increases the past 20 + years when it was not improved? Im not saying this trying to be divisive its just the facts of the past. Why is it “the younger groups” job to fix 20+ years of them not standing up as they walk out the door?

2.) I love this job and have said we have the industry best contract numerous times on this forum. In fact, I have even got a little heated with those who constantly complain about the tiny items and miss the elephant in the room.

3.) Im just very confused on why we would continue to stay in a pension formula that we have not been able to increase in over 20 years. Why would we not look at a different formula that adds value for us and is self increasing and sustaining. If we need to buy a few up so be it. We are a team so lets lift a few up that may be behind in the new formula.

4.) Im a team player and very much enjoy the people I fly with. I honestly have a fun time going to work (even when COVID has everything shut down).

5.) I hope we find a way forward and get together for this contract and get it rite with retirement. Lets not get in the weeds trying to mess with 10-15 things and creat new things.
