Guess what, you can’t have your cake and eat it too…it’s called negotiations, and I think our MEC/NC did each and everything they could fight for in negotiations.
First off, were you even on property a year ago to know what was being discussed by Alaska pilots?
Second, you have precisely zero knowledge of what I asked my reps and NC team for.
Third, Pay, and more recently, (3yrs), retro, have ALWAYS been a major part of the conversation. Ever since I was hired, before the merger with VX. They never took a back seat to anything nor should they.
Fourth, Alaska pilots have paid it forward for DECADES. You're GD right I want my cake and to eat it too. What's the effin point of cake if you can't eat it!?!?
Not one section of this TA should be a compromise. Our compromises are the reason we've had to shoot our load on scope.....in 2022.....25 years late....
You're new, I get it. You're stoked to get more than $150/hr. We've all been there. Believe me, enjoy that warm fuzzie because it fades quick.
