Before we voted it down our MEC sent a blurb for ALPA to publish calling it the “most industry leading TA ever conceived” and this last edition basically said that we voted that down because it failed to deliver in basically all important aspects. Tis not looking promising guys and gals.

For PM to be road show selling TA 2023 with the notion that if we DONT sign this then theres going to be a furlough is ridiculous. 2015 TA was a big TURD and PM was the leader of that. Im so glad our leadership and knowledge base thought brining him back would be a great idea for another HUGE TURD in 2023. Now the company is offering TA 2023 (FAIL) +1% is just ridiculous. We have no leverage. We missed the boat. ALPA and PM are culpable. So now a big TURD sandwich in the form of a TA 2023 +1% is going to define this group going forward. 4 years of negotiations. Lost wages. Time value of money. Garbage retro. Even if theres a post tariff surge in Asia and Euro air cargo this group will fly it for premium (DRAFT) on 2015 rates and we’ll pass a TURD TA 2025 at Delta minus 15% for the WIN! FedSux wins again!
