Obviously, the question was posed by an Atlas pilot. If it had been from a Southern pilot it would have been 50% below industry standard. Perhaps that was why Bill F. rejected the 30% number?
I couldn't help but notice the smug look on the HR guy's face as the question was asked.

Thanks. My guess is BF does not really think this way. He is a business man (remember? oh wait I guess that was someone else who said it but whatever...). Business folk tend to say whatever they need to in order to appease their stake holders (in this case the employees) and thus adopt it as truth. Based on the negotiations report today and the fact that the company is showing up to the table I would wager a guess that this is not really his view on things. This is all fwiw, I am not at all defending or apologizing for him.

Only the easy sections have been TA'd. Compensation, Benefits,work rules all are FAR from being negotiated.
It is all smoke and mirrors designed to get us through 4th quarter

Kinda the opposite from the -400 trips. Here, 98% of everything is: Day 1 you leave the U.S., end of trip...welcome back to the U.S.
