After sleeping on it, here's some random thoughts. NPRM results aren't out yet, so, they can't negotiate those sections until new rules are in effect. Makes sense.

SS states in his video message, "...major economic portions of contract not resolved..."
What could that mean?

They want new LOA in order to fill FDA with more seniority. ALPA figures get us a payraise now, get them (and us) their new LOA.

I don't understand why so many are mad at the "bonus"? Yea it sux!! But, honestly, what did you all expect? Thousands of dollars in bonus to make up for 4a2b? We grieved it, they won it!! It's OVER!!

3%...what do you want? 4-5-6%? if you think we'd get anything more than 3%, you need to go pee in a bottle.

It is what it is...

We had leverage with the LOA last time and didn't use it, we had leverage with 777 and didn't use it, we had the 'homefield' advantage during 4a2b and instead went boldly above and beyond to help company out and stab eachother in the back.

It's our fault. Period. Our union is a paper tiger....

Who do we think we are that we DESERVE better after our performance in the past? This TA isn't insulting, what's insulting is guys calling CRS ASKING if they need help during 4a2b, what's insulting is guys picking up trips during 4a2b, what's insulting is bidding a new aircraft without a pay rate (including MEC members), what's insulting is ALPA telling us that the LOA is the "best we can get", what's insulting is that we still supported Fuel Sense during 4a2b....

This will pass, because they are dangling a 3% carrot, and a LOA "doesn't affect me" attitude.
