If it was a 5 year deal on the table, it might be worth it to vote no and try for more. But not here. Too risky to vote no. You have a quick 2 year deal and then jcba next.
I would have rather seen a 5 year deal that is amendable in 2 years. Or a 2 year deal with an annual % increase until the JCBA is ratified, which could take 5-10 years from today.
The rates are insulting especially coming from the most profitable airline on a margin basis that just had record earnings. This would be a pay cut for a lot that are used to getting premium pay if you include the bonus. Those that have been able to bid specific days off and plan life are going to be shocked when the PBS details come out soon.
