But a lot of the goodies in the TA doesn't even take effect for another year. Flight pay, red eye over-ride, increased Direct contribution, etc.
Vote it down now and they'll be back to the table in 3 months when they realize they will be scaling back our spring and summer schedules again to avoid meltdowns (wink, wink, short staffing issues). I know four guys, one a jr CA, who accepted their CJOs as a result of this TA.
Question,
If you're a prospective pilot for either Jblue or NK, why would you even come here? Right off the bat you'll get better pay and SLI when the merger happens if you go with JB. But hey, if you come here you'll get a snazzy new uniform paid for! 😆
