I’m with you. Another YES voter here. We’re in terrible shape and looking forward I can’t see how we expect an industry leading contract with such poor financial results. The sky really is falling. Let’s pitch in and do our part to help this operation out. I emailed my reps asking that while we’re back at the table we consider a 2am first day report instead of 6am. I also think we need to add just a “few” seats to all RJs to help the pilots that commute. Forget PBS and reassignment, I think all trips should be assigned the day prior, fairly of course, using seniority. I think the 14.5% was too much, we should be happy with just the 9% raise. The training pay and the Tumi were a very generous concession on United’s part that we can do without this time around. We need to “gradually” transition TK to all PUPs. Widebody landings at the company’s discretion, sans the add pay, as they really can’t afford it based on our most recent quarterly financial results. What else am I missing? I know there’s more we can give….
Please consider changing your vote from NO to YES and email your reps, hat in hand, and tell them you sincerely do expect less now.
