This isn't sustainable. They've turned against a lot of long time loyal people that are now anything but. The anger and lack of morale is palpable now. I can't imagine every other regional is doing well, but congrats, come here, be junior in MKE with an impossible commute and even worse schedules to just never get a day you originally had off, off. Management flounders while the union keeps pocketing FPL for surveys. Amazing leadership on both sides.

ALPA reached a TA with the company. No details so far other than
“The TA includes monetary gains and preserves our industry-leading healthcare premiums and plan structure, items that the pilot group told us in our recent polling were top priorities”
Cautiously optimistic.

It will come down to what is acceptable to lose from the 2003 contract for whatever gains we might see in this 2018 contract.
Whatever we lose will be impossible to get back.
I'm concerned about the unions emails of late telling us not to expect an Endeavor style contract and to just settle for whatever they give us, setting us up for lackluster contract improvements.
The union pushed the 2015 TA so hard, and (the biggest issue I saw among many others was) it would have made health care more expensive with no increase in take home pay. Don't even try to tell me that the perdiem increase would have covered the healthcare cost increase. Perdiem is for food not healthcare.
If we vote this one in, it will be ours for at least 5 years, make sure you're happy with it.
