Leave nothing on the table, but let that blood pressure settle a little bit.
Agree with this. This is contractually guaranteed money that we’re getting a little early. From the day we signed that pandemic LOA it was obvious this 5% was going to face “creative” interpretations, but the company already tried to bury it into a TA & we killed it. If they try it again, neither the pilots- nor the union this time- will be fooled. Since contract rates are expressed as a percentage, it will be very easy to spot if DOS increase exceeds inflation or not.
Take the money & demand an excellent contract. That’s the game.
