I liked it at first, and if this thing passes will welcome a bit more change on my paycheck.... but:
The ALV+15 involuntary rule has been admitted to require around 300 fewer pilots in the system for staffing.
More stagnation and thus the longer for you and I to finally get off reserve or move up categories- so in actuality it can reduce our long term pay by not being able to hold a line (much more money capability) or holding higher gauge categories.
The 4+30 is better, but it is at least a half hour below what it should be. Like the RJ stuff and pay on the TA, the reserve area is very underwhelming.

It's not that it's not good a good thing to put some shrinkage toward DCI... but we will continue to see stagnation due to work rule givebacks on this contract and replacement but not growth aircraft. On top of that giving away 70 more mainline replacement aircraft to DCI...
We fell way short of the mark on this TA.

I'm not in love with this TA, and I'm not interested in becoming a proponent of it. If you can't live with the proposed scope clause, vote no. It's that simple.
I can live with the proposed scope, but I'm not sure the pay rates cut it. I'll decide within the next month if the bird in hand is worth holding, and vote accordingly.
That being said, I'd be surprised if the MEC's polling group hasn't already predicted passage of this thing by a comfortable margin. In the past, they've been very accurate in their predictions.

Also, please show me where a MOA can't change the ratio for shrinkage.
Thanks, ready to vote yes if you can show me my guarantees

There may be other planes parked after the 717s arrive, like the DC9s that are close to going away. But, MD90s and 737-900s will also be arriving. I believe the ratio will cover the balance between mainline and DCI. I suggest attending a roadshow and asking these same questions.
