All said in a respectful way. But I think most yes guys are just like give me the money now and maybe I’ll worry about this other stuff later. (That’s certainly a valid view and if I were to bet a majority view here)
Its going to be entertaining in a few years after the merger is done and the company starts making cash (otherwise why merge) we don’t get PS in the JCBA and all the guys are going to be like but but I thought you guys wouldn’t make money can I have some?
The risk is we send this back and get nothing in return. The company just pulls the offer, keeps filling classes with wet ATP’s and decides they can roll with what they’ve got until JCBA. That is an absolute valid risk in this scenario. Then what Joe? What if they decide to file for mediation? Also a possibility. Yea, for me it’s a substantial raise, and it makes more sense to take the money now….start negotiating again in 12 months (possibly even sooner). I’m not sure where the disconnect is here Joe? How am I contradicting myself? If we send it back, no I don’t think it comes back with PS….if at all. I don’t know why they agreed to this TA because it wasn’t designed to attract pilots (the company could have raised 1st year pay substantial but they didn’t). Kudos to the union for at least getting this done. They’re still putting peeps in classes. I’m done talking about this. It’s pointless. Vote your conscious. I’ll die on my bill during the JCBA.
