Rough math would put the top 3 airlines all having to have somewhere in the ball park of $347-$350 TOS on or before DOS+1. For AS to get an increase above 4%. If the bottom two don't raise the bar and if JB is not counted, the top 3 all have to be in the arena of $340/hr by DOS+1. This would have to occur before Sept 1st 2023. So in 11 mos., 3 of our comparison airlines need to negotiate rates that are $30/hr higher than ours. Something the yes voters seem to think is an impossibility due to the impending recession but somehow also tout the, "snap up", as being a viable provision..... I agree with you outsiders looking in. We're leaving too much money on the table. We made big gains in Scope and Scheduling, namely because we had squat in either area to begin with. I find no reason we have to compromise in any section to make these gains. We had 1500 at the picket, a 99% strike vote and we need to follow it up by sending this TA back and delivering a mandate stating that the days of the Alaska discount are over.
