You got the QOL improvements.
You got the Schedule flexibility improvements.
You got the Scope and Job Security protections.
Hourly Rate is not what was hoped for, but the Snap Up provisions safeguards not being left too far behind, right?
Signing Bonus could be better, but could be viewed as the compromise in this process, if the JG Wentworth, "Its My Money, and I Need It Now!" stance is not adopted.
If it is ratified, the fact of the matter is that it wouldn't be a $hiddy contract to work under, by any measure. It's not the fully loaded, customised model one would've been preferred, but it nevertheless would come VERY well equipped.
I'm leaning YES, but very much on the fence atm, and would actually vote NO, if I were to become convinced that from a RISK vs REWARD point of view, suiting up, and jumping back into the battle is the wisest thing to do.
And there in lies the rub. There is nothing about our NC, MEC, LEC’s, given their history of the last three years that leads me to believe that they haven’t in the past, nor would they not in the future, (as in now) suit up themselves and jump back in if they thought the juice was worth the squeeze.
I absolutely 💯 respect someone’s no. I’m not even making a decision myself till I’ve done my due diligence. But, if someone thinks that the opinion of someone on APC (Alaska pilot or another carrier pilot) is gonna be where I find my decision, you’d be dead wrong.
