Only slightly more than half of our pilots disagreed.
More accurately, the MEC thought 2% was wonderful when paired with furlough protections. However, after the NO vote and surveys, they spent a year telling us they were going to take a hardline stance to negotiate a much better deal than 2%. Until they reached a TA for 3% and said it checked all the boxes from the pilot surveys.
And if you do the math, 3% is 50% more than 2%, so they really got us a 50% raise. Good job guys!
