The names have changed, but the Koolies (that claim they aren't), still make the exact same arguments on these forums as they've made every other time we've voted on something in my tenure here. The end result is always the same: An industry lagging contract or side letter.

There's a reason that our contracts have always lagged the industry, and the attitude conveyed in many of these posts are it. And no, this time is not "different", I've been reading this same stuff for decades.

In spite of an industry leading, record breaking SAV, in a previously unimaginable negotiating environment for pilots, SWAPA is already accepting less than we're worth. Again.

A few of the "sprinkles" (AIPed sections) that SWAPA has already told us about (hotels, LCO, not getting rid of JA, still getting straight pay for sick or fatigue calls on premium awards, co domiciles etc), are already more than enough for for me to vote no, unless they hit the rest of it way out of the park on the big items.

I sincerely hope that I am wrong, but I suspect that there will be many more "sprinkles" added, that will reinforce my no vote when the "language" comes out.

Of course, most folks will not look past the pay rates and ignore the work rules that will, inevitably, erode them.

We'll see.
