The union decided to zero in on rates and achieve them quickly. As a mid level Airbus FO, it helped fix our slope and gives me a substantial raise. You are correct though Blue, the lack of PS immediacy impacts us. Thing is, we aren’t turning a profit, and the company seems h3ll bent on not giving it up currently. I’ve made the personal decision that I can live with that for this short term, but I’ve told my reps they had better start telling Robin to warm up to PS sooner than later because I’m going to die on that hill come JCBA. The reps agree.
Oh this is the best one lol. Where do you think the extra medical and parking expenses came from? Was that pay rate, profit sharing, and per diem? No? So things outside of those 3 items were in fact on the table? it would have been real easy to then throw in 5:15 since Alaska got it, as well as a 401k snap up…ESPECIALLY since they failed to get one of the main pillars in their 3 pillar plan, and fell short on the other main pillar. They could have. But they didn’t.
