This! I don't even know why others are debating this topic, it's not up for debate and there is no need to resurvey since it wasn't even close to 50%. I've recently flown with some that want the money now and I completely understand their point from a financial perspective. While I agree with them that we will never make that money up, the long term success of the company is more important by having a complete TA so the pilot list can actually grow and retain. I see some post talking about voting on a pay rate only contract. I'm not sure how it's possible for everyone not to understand that the current exco will not sell you out and send a mostly rate only increase contract out to vote.

310sky your optimism is adorable but you're setting yourself up for disappointment. I just hope you aren't making any career decisions based on your misinterpretation of the exco's recent update which had no such quick timeline as you're assuming. Today's UAL new hires will be making 400k in the left seat before we have a new TA. If anyone thinks we will be the first airline of this millennium to reach a TA before the 2 year mark and not go to mediation with our current management then you honestly need to check yourself into the HIMS program and get back to reality.
