Springer, well said...and on the other side of that coin, DC8DRIVER, well said.
As much as I would like to wish the new CBA was in the Upper Upper Half, that is not the case...but that is a relative thing.
For those on the outside looking in (especially those without a job), it is pretty damn good.
That is not the reason for this thread though, is it?

Being an amalgamation process, we did make some breakthroughs.
Like so many contracts, there is what you want, what you deserve, what you ask for and what you get.
At the end of the day, it will be a livable contract that pays us a better wage and will allow us to maintain a semblance of life.
Hopefully the company will continue to be successful so when this one opens up in a few years, we can get what we deserve (FNGs included!).
I hope all the wannabes who get hired, also come in to make this a great place to work.
On the line, all we have is each other. We need to stay safe and sane out there, so keep that in mind to you wanna-bes. Don't look at this place as $XXX/hr or $XXX,XXX/yr or you'll be disappointed. If you look at the job as a J-O-B, and you have a mind to be social with your co-workers a bit, and you can stand the time away from home, this is a fine job. You can engineer some incredible time off, but 16,17 day stretches can get a bit long. Flying with your buds makes it easier.

Good idea to bring one. the company will reimburse the return trip only up to an equivalent airline ticket. after ground school when the sim/fbs sessions start it'll come in real handy. hotel van is fairly reliable but you'll find yourself waiting as they can be busy. welcome onboard!!!

It is nice to have a car and since you'll be staying at the Residence Inn during your training, you can use it to get some supplies...this serves two purposes: saves a lot time (that you can't afford to waste) trying to find dinner every night, and saves money, since you will have likely have left a good job, and will be on some meager per diem and pay during your training.
It is also nice to have the car since you can escape for a few hours during weekends (or other days off)...or you are likely to get cabin fever.
