As one of the 1,7xx, I couldn’t care less about the little bit of extra money. I think I speak for most of us...we just want some finality.
As far as my opinion on the 30hrs...I can say I wasn’t expecting it. Didn’t think there was any way the NC would come up with something palatable enough to appease the collective group.
I think they did a fantastic job of coming up with something that gets us some QoL enhancements while keeping a contract worth coming back to, and at the same time, helps pilots like me make ends meet. Honestly, that’s what this does. Between the 30 hours and whatever work I can find, I can pay my bills without amassing debt, and still have some presents under the tree next month for the kids. For that, I will be beyond grateful should 20-04 pass.
Trust me when I say, I’ll be a much happier Widget when I finally do come back, something I think the company realized in making this deal. Hats off to the NC.
