In a nutshell, we’ve given up way too much in this contract and gained very little. Specifically, our potential jobs (and certainly our job security). And don’t even get me started on the threats to the future pilots…our kids (next generation’s) jobs, bc we’ve weakened every section of the contract for retirement (for guys who are leaving in the next 5 years)...chief among these weakened sections is section 1, scope! If you guys are good with screwing over everyone who’s not out the door in the next 5 years for an extra 30k a year, well, I guess we know your price.

For the rest of us, we see scope weakened, not strengthened. We see pay way short of our labors and efforts, we see back pay that is laughable, we see Substitution expanded not reduced…I could go on, but I’m sure you get the point…that basically our QOL will be less not more! Thus, I feel the vast majority will vote this down bc of the absurd concessions. Most understand that it’s not just the destination that’s important, but also the journey! Lastly I’d say, If you want to fixate on retirement at the expense of everything and everyone else all I can say is you will find that this pilot group will vote you and our feckless NC down in a few short days. That is all!

Respectively,

Tun
