It helps out female pilots who are planning to have a baby.
It helps out anyone who needs the raise now. Buying a house in the next year, you might want the income now for your loan approval.
I bet there will be at least 33% yes voters. It definitely won’t be a 100/0 No.
Sounds like the LCAs aren't happy either. This TA looks to me like one big accounting move. We pay for our own raise with higher health costs, irreversible loss of QOL, loss of PPU, etc etc. And the raise is not a raise anyway. Maybe those retiring will vote yes, but some have said no and I have a ton of respect for that. I'll remember to pay that forward one day. I think they'll benefit more by demanding full retro on a better TA.
