Personally I just don’t trust management not to negatively manipulate the outcome of any agreement we might make with them. Everyone loves to throw around the words ‘ironclad,’ and ‘snapback,’ but have either of those things ever really happened? From what I can tell every time the pilot group has made an ‘ironclad’ agreement it hasn’t quite been so ironclad, and while things may snap down rather abruptly, it’s not once been a snap back... more like a years-long grudge match to eke back what was lost in an instant.
Plus management wanted targeted ALV reductions, not a blanket ALV reduction.
I’d just rather do something else for a couple years than possibly erode the PWA and have to endure the results of that for much longer. It’s not like being an airline pilot is the only job in existence.
