Not only should we send this thing down in flames, we should recall the entire group. This ain’t a 2 year deal… it’s 10+. This entire contract is a laundry list of managements wet dreams, and we get crap, nadda, nothing. Why in the HELL would management come back to the table in 2 years?! For what?!? We’re giving them everything they’ve ever wanted right now. No line pilots in TK (their end goal, this lets the camels nose under the tent), 0600 reserve day 1, scope concessions… for a 9% raise that’s a pay cut as of 24 months after the amenable date.

When short calls were introduced in 2012 it was only supposed to be for irregular ops, a tool that would never get used. Now look at it. We’re the only airline with FSB.

There isnt a single win in this thing for any part of this line flying pilot group. Spare me your recession fear mongering. If it’s going to be so bad why is the company hiring nonstop at break neck pace?!? Why do they need to staff TK and the LCA ranks so bad? Why are we breaking ground on ANOTHER new sim building for 12 more FFS and 12 FTDs? Why are we taking delivery of a new narrow body every three days?

Get bent!
