I cant believe after all the touting of a once in a generation contract they will settle for a standard okayish contract.
Their reasoning is UA and AA will help get their pay rates up.
Boy will they be shocked when that doesnt happen and if their language isnt great the conpanybwill walk all over them.
I'm worried no one will stand up for the contract they deserve and hope some other airline does.
We cant wait for others to do the work for us.
I have a standing NO vote in.
What is left out of the "rate" equation is there are a lot of soft time pay improvements from training pay, vacation, sick leave, dc payments, lower health premiums, holiday pay, etc that will make for a higher W2 but don't show up in the "rates" discussion.
