There are so many other things we could have negotiated for...what about better reserve rules, enhanced recall rules, or better deadhead pay just to name a few. I know how as pilot we are distracted by shiny new things so I can understand why the new crew room (which according to contract they had to do anyways) has enticed many of you to agree to this MCB. So I am going to take a page from you and say I hope you enjoy the new plush crew rooms and hope it was worth 110 pilots getting pushed to the street. I just think it seems like a waste of some great leverage we have against the company right now!!!
You are getting pushed to the street NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!! And I did get 'the point." You want the gains of the MCB to benefit the furloughs! Read your post! It started out great; but finished with something about "off the backs of the furloughs."
I agree with you about the issues the company should've already handled - the crew rooms, IOE grievance etc; we shouldn't give the MCB LOA away for something the company has dragged their feet on. Thank God the LOA didn't pass.
I am sorry about your furlough; sincerely. We are all glad most people felt the same regarding the LOA as you did - it didn't pass.
