Man is this one interesting.
How many have shown up for a Joint Council Meeting and expressed their views? Local Council meeting?
How many took the survey and WAGd their answers? Did our MEC offer any education after the game has changed?
Our FAE should be twice the IRS defined benefit plan limit. Currently $245K ($490K FAE), $265K ($530K FAE) in 2023.
And our pay rates should be the highest in the industry. Delta Plus a lot more than a nickel for all the reasons stated above.
I think it is clear to all the company's delay is going to cost them a lot more money (think Billions more), even if we just improve our retirement and pay rates now. Consider getting educated on the time cost of money and let's take this golden acorn. Show up in Jan 23 on the 11th and let the MEC know how you feel. Without unity, we are not going to see the improvements we have earned.
I have five years left if anyone wants a barometer on my timeline. I care about floating all boats, now.
Yes United is going to raise the rates even more, and AA may do the same. At some point we have to sweep the money off the table into our pockets. Now may be that time. Or we can wait for better offers, how long is that going to take?
