Just read the section 6 Negotiations Update email. The fake outrage of ALPA is killing me. All of the points they are rallying against were the same things they were touting about tumi TA… I read and heard them try to include the LOA 5% to bolster their ‘industry leading pay’ raise percentage as well as brag how they negotiated all of these revolutionary reserve and work rules they spent 4 years creating. Now they are blasting management for doing the same thing with LOA pay early, and patting themselves on the back for getting back to square 1. This letter was probably written to them by a pilot after TA 1 came out and they just copied it but changed ALPA to management.
Also, I’ll gladly take the 5% early, and it will have ZERO influence on what I expect of the TA.
