I don't think it's unreasonable to consider the majority of junior people would consider voting in favor of 10% for a short-term gain while they wait for a class date at a legacy, essentially, short-changing the guys more senior. I would like to believe MM will not consider presenting the pilot group a grossly imbalanced TA. Another consideration is allegedly there are several hundred PRIA requests in the queue for those with a CJO, who in theory have nothing to lose and all to gain by agreeing to 10%. While I acknowledge management is offering "raises", it appears they are throwing quite a bit of pork fat in their proposal to the detriment of those who have invested 6+ years at F9.
What is the downside of agreeing to an immediate 10% with snap-up to respectable pay rates, including retro once F9 achieves mutually agreed upon financial positions within a defined period of time?
The downside would be when those metrics are hit nothing happens. Fool me once. And what about other provisions? Start square one again on everything except rates?
