After reviewing it and comparing it with the only CBA I worked under (ARW 2003), a few thoughts from a "disinterested" third party:
1. Jet CA rates look decent, but Jet FO payrates are less than 60% CA rates...why?
2. Split Saab payrates. I understand why this is, but its still quite divisive IMO.
3. Q400 rates less than CRJ-200? Really? This seems short-sighted to me.
4. No trip/duty rigs?
5. Only 75% DH pay?
6. Commuter policy sucks - disciplined for more than 2 uses?
7. Only 11 days off?
8. Health insurance is less expensive & a better option than what's offered at my current employer
I worked for Pinnacle my vote would be HELL YES, if Mesaba it'd probably be an shrugging YES, and if I worked for Colgan I'd probably hold my nose on the payrate issue and vote YES because the "good" outweighs the "bad". That said, I'd be willing to bet over the life of this agreement many CR2s go away and many more Q400s are added...potentially leading to a loss of income for crewmembers while operating a more efficient, higher-margin aircraft for the company.
All that said, its your sandbox...but your negotiators had a VERY difficult job given the condition of each airline's contract & pilot group and this, to me, looks like a viable (if nowhere close to "industry leading") joint contract solution.
