The company had a chance to work with a group who really wanted to give them a chance to do the right thing. The company blew it. Any future reps, as well as the majority of the crew force, are now going to be quite cynical and skeptical of anything the company ever says or does.

And...I don't want to "keep" my retirement. Inflation is destroying it. I want it improved. PBS or a status quo on retirement is a no vote. Retirement cuts are a strike issue.

Albie curious on your thought, of when your group can expect a TA? I think we are still a couple years out.

We will have one when Mgt wants us to have one.

I know we're ready to sign one with pay rates that beat inflation, protects vacation, and restores the overall retirement plan that's been eroded by inflation.

Shoot, I'd be ready to sign one with The Industry Standard long-short call reserve setup. You know the ones where Senior folks can defer crappy trips to the Junior Guys.

If mgt delays too much longer, might be willing to sign one with the Industry STD payrates for 777 on down as well
