Exactly why I’m taking the money now, free cash, and realizing the big items to actually “fight” are to come in the next steps.
Sorry but as much as I want more money for newhires, the company doesn’t even want to pay more, and they are the ones supposed to be “begging” for pilots, and last I checked, attracting pilots is still their problem
“the company doesn’t even want to pay more “
But they agreed to pay us more. And not out of the kindness of their hearts. They calculate how much they need to offer to get 51%. And in the last contract they ended up over paying, as it was over 70% voted yes. How that money is spread around is up to us. Calling training pay tomorrow’s fight is disingenuous at best. Yes, we can take that money now, but we didn’t take a stand last time, and not doing it now, so probably won’t happen next time.
