As for the XJT guys the fact that they are working under concessions is of no concern to you. They should realize they already have a good contract (by your standards), that they have everything you want, and that should be good enough for them. Oh by the way...XJT should help ASA get rid of the crappy PBS system that your pilot group voted in and with that everything will be fine and dandy....for YOU!
A bit one sided don't you think?
Well the XJT contract is better than ours. Better = improvement. Not saying I wouldn't be for improvements on top of that if we can get it. But I wouldn't be to terribly dissatisfied with your contract, plus a nice raise and no PBS, if that's what we ended up with in the end. Not saying I'm going to vote yes at the first offer that comes along. But that's just me. I know you guys want more. If I like what I see, then I will vote yes. If not, then I will vote no. You can do the same. And yes, you working under concessions is not my concern, so stop trying to make it my concern.
BTW, that raise we got from PBS was 1%. It didn't even add up to a dollar for me. So it wasn't much of a raise.
