I would be voting no. A senior FA getting guarantee (assuming 70 hours - I don’t know their rules) isn’t even grossing 40k.

If the company truly needs this done, there isn’t a chance in hell they should being voting this in. Given they came to the table with this deal, seemingly unannounced, I think it’s pretty safe to say they need it wrapped up.

FAs have leverage. Use it.

How is that even credible, particularly since the plan is to sell a majority of the condos before even breaking ground, pretty much funding the thing outright? They should indeed vote no, but they don't have leverage against their hotel plan...anyone recall any rumors about brand new airplanes when our TA dropped?

I don’t recall new airplane rumors, yet that is exactly what happened. Again the company came to the pilots out of nowhere and came to a deal. They needed it for those planes. They showed up to the FA table with a deal, again out of nowhere.

I’m sure their BS is getting built regardless, yet you don’t think they could get say better interest rates or other terms by having contracts in place?

You really think it’s a coincidence the FAs and mechanics are all working on contracts right now?

There is a reason for it. They would continue to drag this out if there wasn’t.

Mechanics aren't working on a contract. They barely just started their card drive.

I’m aware, but the company did approach them with an offer.

I tend to agree with this statement. 2018 may be a very interesting year for us.
