Vote no. Your TA doesn't have anything in it we have in our post 9/11 contract. Same planes, same types of flying, same contract. Come on guys.

Oh, if we get your contract the company will go bankrupt. Straight from the MEC.

C5 pilots are fighting the fight and trying to make their crap hole a better place. I respect what they are doing because those of us at Colgan (The true "We") who have been here for some time, know what it is like to be crapped on and still fight for something better. Because of that, I would rather have a C5 pilot as a co-worker anyday instead of someone who calls a pilot group "trash bottom feeders" one say and "We" the next day.
Hear hear, Juice!!!

I didn't know you guys had a TA. Are the details out there for the rest of the world to see?

No. You got the details incorrect.

Pinnacle is buying American Eagle.

Sure, here's the "bulletin point summary" we all got, my comments in parenthesis:

• Higher Pay Rates - Most pilots will see a double digit percentage increase in rates! (from $21 to $23.39 for first year FOs)
• Block or Better Pay - On a leg by leg basis (definitely needed, they horribly underblock probably a third of our legs)
• Deadhead Pay - At 50%
• Premium Pay – 150% pay for reassignments and operations extensions (except they can run you until 2 AM on a day off with zero penalty and it's still a day off)
• Other new pay credits, including taxi movement and maintenance run-up pay (18 mins for taxi, 12 for gate run-up, 24 for off-gate run-up)
• Increase in Per Diem - From $1.25 to $1.45, a 16% increase
• Increase in Days Off – 14 to 15 more days off per year and NO “fake” days off! (also needed, when we do stand-ups/continuous duty overnights/high speeds the second day is listed as a day off on our schedule)
• Improved sick leave accrual and pay
• Commuter Policy (once per year, anything beyond that is an "occurance" with the company, and it only works if you have a "gauranteed" jumpseat, of which I don't know anyone besides FedEx who does, or 10% open seats, which as far as I know we can only check on CO/UA)
• Improvements in trip construction and quality of life - No more 7 leg days! (now just 6 leg days!)
• Cap on insurance premiums (basically the same as now)

I can see it already: "For a period of five years, no Pinnacle pilot may be awarded or displaced to a Dash 8 Captain position."

Your gift from the 9E SLI committee.
