In my opinion this TA is a huge letdown. Some may say it’s better than nothing but let’s not forget the opportunity cost. The reality is the company is saving a huge amount of money with this. We could have negotiated for way more than 220 saved, as well as way longer than 2 months. Not to mention only 25/35 hour lines. It’s honestly kind of embarrassing when compared to the industry standard 50 hour lines.

So they “may offer” them. So what? Before this LOA it was a hard no offer. What are we voluntarily giving up here?
The turd sandwich is whatever comes part 2 from the union, if at all. My guess is we’re still furloughing either way.
I was surprised this LOA had even half of these options.
Take the small victory, 1 more month of no furlough, 2 more months for the 220.
