Will someone from ASA please educate us poor peons on what your golden contract contains so that we can strive to be as high and mighty as the ones called "assey"?
Here I'll help you out:
Your payrates are better, not extremely better but better.
What else beyond that?
Better scope protections than this TA?
More than 11 days off a month? (not bragging just asking)
Block or better with leg by leg guarantees?
4 hour min day?
A whole host of scheduling provisions that force the company to staff accordingly and not use junior manning as a staffing model?
Pilots creating the pairings to be put into PBS?
Is your 401k matching that superior?
Health insurance cheaper and more coverage?
Please, please tell me what I need to be striving for since it's what you already have.
I didn't mean it as a jab or a mine is better then yours, but from hell you guys have had to deal with you deserve far better. This is a step in the right direction but it should be better then it is. They're hoping that you jump at the first one so they don't have give you more...they can afford more.
I'm not an acey but I'll definitely be fighting for a superior contract then we have now. Also the ASA contract isn't superior to the expressjet contract in many ways. There should be no reason that nearly every aspect of the new contract isn't better than each of the two existing contracts.
Good luck
