the flight plan 2020 showed that we could get a 100% raise and the company would still be profitable at current costs. That's not even passing the cost on to the consumer.
a lot of what the union is asking asking work rules actually save the company money and that's not including the numerous meltdowns we've had since 2016. It's almost averaging one every six months.
the question is... can the company afford to not pay us what we're worth and the new work rules?
They had no trouble paying out 150% to fly our line and 200% to pick up last yr.
Also keep this in mind. Its basicaly a 10 yr contract. A 100% raise is barely keeping up with inflation if it continues the way it has been
