Fine. Don't use history solely. How about using some of it? You need to study this business. It ain't the military. I'll save you time though, but you'll have to trust me. I've been in this business for nearly 22 years and nobody has pulled off the trick yet. Bait and switch does not work.
When did you get hired?

In my opinion, The company needs this done because they have already made a deal for a 100 seat jet. From the TA:
Company commits to adding a new small 100-seat narrow-body at Mainline by the second half of 2016
That's only one year out. Pretty fast to get a new airframe on property up and running don't you think?

The pay raises are fine, but pay is not my primary concern. Retirement is. How about 1% DC increase PER YEAR. And there is no reason to change profit sharing at all. It's profit. Doesn't cost them a thing really. Profits are supposed to be shared. They share plenty with investors by buying back stock and increasing dividends. Our investors got an increase in profit sharing, and we are getting a decrease?
Ok, I saw the reduction in unverified sick leave coming. From 100 down to 80 (approx) But, if you are going to do that then give me another week of vacation. You older guys will remember we used to get seven weeks of vacation. (with trips touching, but that's another matter.) And being able to "bank" 40 hours of it doesn't help. 40 hours is what the average Delta pilot uses per year anyway. So most won't be able to bank anything unless they start flying sick.
Having said all that this TA is certainly in the ball park of what I expected and what we can achieve, so no let's not get all giddy and think this is a referendum for the DPA or some such nonsense.

Does the a330 and the 767-400 pay the same as the 777?
It has to to match AMRs band or it's yet another failure.

So, if I call in sick for a 5 day trip, and call in well after 2 days, does that count as 5 days or 2 days? I did that last year, and it only shows up as 2 days on my icrew sick occurrences report. Would be a good question to get answered before voting.
