For the individuals that are not happy with the pay figures here is my personal take...

If you are upset with the numbers now...why not back in OCT 05 when we saw what we were asking for...they are about the same.

You can ALWAYS fight for more pay...maybe next time...my source told me that the company will be going after vacation in 2010...so maybe you can trade that for a huge pay raise.

If we didn't nail down Scope and Health Care now...they would have been out of control next time around.

And work rules. Its a negotiation...you have to expect to get some but not all of what you are asking for UNLESS...you want to take it to a strike and force them to hand it over. Just as much as the company doesn't want to strike and our customers don't want us to strike, I can't think of many pilots that would want for 2-3% and some work rules...
