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! 😆
Yeah, they’ll be back to the table (unless they decide to just let it sink and become jetblues problem), but like you said, most of the new TAs best provisions start in January 2024. So unless you can get a *substantially* better TA well before January 2024, you might well end up not even making more money out of it since there won’t be any retro.
