All negotiating with a pilot group/flying as diverse as ours is a matter of opportunity cost… I think with your attitude, you will always see someone who has gained more from a new CBA than you have. So I’d be careful with that mindset, otherwise we’ll all be voting NO, regardless of how good the agreement would be for us as a whole.

The question is what is the threshold for the lowest increase in pay that is acceptable? If we all get a minimum 20% raise on DoS, but with changes in pay banding to the 767-300, or a captain override, some people get 30% raises… Is that an automatic NO? Do we need an exact equal outcome for all groups for a person to feel like things were negotiated correctly?

As much as all this sounds like hypotheticals, this will be our reality/choice here soon.
