In my case it's a $310K extra on base pay alone over the next 6 years left in the actual contract, not taking into account flight duty pay, 401K increase, OT on last day increase, etc.
A guaranteed $310K extra or the unknown.

There are collegues who are well off and for whom an extra $400K is not enough to take away their fight, take away seeing the CEO publicly shamed, seeing the company on its knees. Of all involved in negotiations and union management, it is quite obvious that ML the pyro will lobby for the No vote, ML wants to keep fighting, he would love to see the company close from the result of his fight. It's his calling. He wants the job actions - he supported them openly on the MB - he wants to keep pushing for full unconditional surrender of the company or bust.

It's going to be an interesting one for sure. But let's read the full text, let's understand what's the last day OT, let's see the pay rates.
