We would have solidified making $60 less than the majors. Sure, it's more than what we're being paid today, assuming many of us still had jobs.
With all due respect, TC coming out against the TA hasn’t saved us from anything. It heavily influenced the vote, that’s true, but his fear mongering has resulted in us making $150/hr less than top legacy pay, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars along the way, hundreds of pilots that helped build the company left with no pension increase, while the company saves $70mill+/month and the Tri-Color network is implemented and growing, especially white, our least favorite color. The company is NEVER going to cave on scope like the scope obsessed among us want so you can die on that hill while they implement as much white network as they want, or you can move on and negotiate the $$ sections and get something for all of us. NOTHING in our current contract, or the failed TA is preventing what is happening in scope RIGHT NOW. It cracks me up when those among us act like TC helped us avoid some calamity in scope, he didn’t.
