1. Who cares?!?!? Mainline airlines are making historical profits and paying the guy who empties the LAV more in bonuses quarterly than you'll EVER see...not to mention what the FA's, gate agents and pilots are getting...on top of their nice pay increases.
I certainly don't expect that due to us being FEED and not mainline but, THEIR IS NO REASON TO BE STAGNANT OR BACKSLIDE ON PAY OR BENEFITS.

In 1998, I voted NO on the first TA. In 1998, I helped negotiate what was then an industry leading contract because the first TA was far from industry leading. In 1998, our net profit margin was 15 percent. This isn't 1998. In 2013 we currently have the industry leading contract. In 2013 we have a TA that pushes the two industry leading contracts a tad bit further. In 2013 we have no net profit.
I'm as ****ed about this situation as anyone. However it is never good to get emotional when making business decisions.

Was just chatting with a friend about this and wanted to share:
Section 25.P.2
Captains Flying as First Officers
a. A reserve captain may be required to fly as a first officer if no
reserve first officers are available to fly an assignment.
b. If both crewmembers are on reserve, the more senior reserve
(by pilot system seniority) will designate who will be captain and
first officer.
c. If the other crewmember is a lineholder, he will be the captain.
d. A reserve captain will not be required to fly more than 20 hours
as a first officer in a month.
e. The pilot will be paid and credited as a captain for the first
officer assignment.
f. A pilot retains the responsibility to determine if an assignment is
safe, and may reasonably refuse an assignment to fly as first officer.

Joe Merchant is wasting his breath trying to convince us to vote yes since he pledged months ago to vote yes for anything. That makes his opinion on the specifics irrelevant. He would have voted yes anyhow.
I'm voting no. This is insulting. I calculate a 20% loss in direct pay over the life of the contract. And I hope nobody like to go grab a beer on the overnight... that's one of the few remaining perks of this job. Now you'll check your messages at the bar at 2300 and find out your 1500 show has become 0900. And you're disciplined if you don't self notify and accept it.

And I'll really enjoy being an FO for John R, Art, and Linda when I go back on reserve thanks to the 10% min res with no penalties, but no max. Read between the lines there folks... I predict 30% of the company becomes the new norm.
No vote from me. Go ahead and shut it down if this is the best you can do. You don't deserve to run an airline.
