If it doesn’t satisfy you. Okay. I didn’t write it nor was I consulted on it.
Much like every time a new contract is put out for memrat, all pilots do is go to the compensation section to evaluate. A contract, or LOA in this case, is far more than a simple $$$. In this situation I think it is clear that ours is far more comprehensive in its design and places us at an advantage down range. Time will tell if I’m correct or not.
As always, you are entitled to your position as am I. To insinuate I am somehow an agent of the MEC here to spread what is propaganda in your mind is a range foul. I’m just giving you my opinion.

Funny how in my 30 years of flying I can’t remember a contract comparison being produced AFTER the agreement was ratified and implemented. The “traffic received by the Union” is a quaint statement for the fact that a lot of pilots are ****ed Lee. Your broad insult of the pilot group regarding the section 3 comment doesn’t apply because this LOA has already passed. In fact, how can we run to section 3 when there are multiple tiers, tiers within tiers, pay protections, do overs and seniority abrogation. What a tangled web we weave when the votes must be received.
Why would the MEC care how we currently feel about our LOA? Either it works or it doesn’t. We won’t know for several months or a year out. My guess is they are worried about the LEC elections. Angry pilots don’t bode well for those running in support of this LOA. Heck, the spin machine needs to work overtime when candidates start calling the seniority system a Ponzi scheme and issuing a call to arms because the system is broken.
