While our pax brethren we're receiving government loans and their companies were barely turning revenue we were working and earning our company billions more than forecasted. Yet, they were able to obtain non-concessionary contracts with solid financial gains. If this MEC approves a TA that doesn't even meet one of their three limited objectives, "industry leading hourly payrates," then it needs to be sent back by the pilots. As a post 2015 hire, I get the sense that it will be voted down. This is not the same crew force as the 2015 contract.
I've expressed to my representative that if the NC did not meet the MEC's contract objectives it needs to be sent back and if they won't do it then the crew force will. There is simply not enough pilots who are voting on retirement alone to pass a concessionary substandard TA this go around.
