Can be as simple as just tying automatic raises to the pension. Or making pension raises retroactive back to amenable date. Both would eliminate the incentive to vote based on a single issue.
There you go rowing in your own direction again. The MEC and NC have said that they are using polling data to ask for what the majority want. The NC has said that their retirement ask has been to keep the A plan for all pilots. So, every time you try to negotiate in public for something else, you are being divisive.
There are reasons you can't have an unlimited cap on a pension. If you listen to what the NC puts out, you would know why they can't make pension raises retroactive.
You seem to be a single issue voter, and have said that if our rates are one nickel less that Delta's, it's a NO from you. So why is your single issue more important than someone else's? I know, because you only care about rowing in the same direction if they let you decide the direction.
How about you get on board and stop negotiating against our NC!
