I love that many pilots think that every thing in a contract is a separate item to be negotiated with no mixing of other stuff. Believe me I’d love it if that was the case. But a gain in one area means you don’t always get as much in another area. The totality of the contract is not negotiated in vacuum.
I haven’t decided my vote because I haven’t looked at any of the documents yet other than the initial TA announcement email from last Friday. I wanted to watch all the Town Hall information videos then read the full document based on hearing from the negotiators. Then I could read and make an informed and hopefully non-emotional decision.
Yawn. If you haven’t looked at the documents (including the opening company and ALPA openers plus town halls) you have no business in this discussion. It’s irrelevant now anyway. MEC already put it all on hold when AMR gave them an excuse to backtrack.
