I don't think this TA will pass once it's out in the open. Especially after a 9-5 Vote from the LEC. It must be Weak in many critical areas. So you old folks will be working for another year.
Remember, you will be working under this until 2023 minimum. So it needs to be right.

I want a great contract. We deserve it and the leverage was/is there. It will never be better than through the end of this year. A nice pay raise the first year only won't cut it with me if the rest of it isn't great.
It worries me that it was only 9-5 to approve the resolution. That implies to me there are some significant areas that need improvement. We have to live with this for just short of a decade so it should be damn good.
MEC, do your job and if it's not great, send it back. I don't want a member vote simply to have one...that would be abdicating responsibility. Only approve a TA to be sent for vote if you think it's great!

I also agree with the poster, saying that this needs to be a great contract, not one that will just squeak by with 51%. I am concerned at the 9-5 vote. I guess we will know next week, just what the score is.

Is ALPA that stupid to not base signing bonus as some multiple of hourly pay rate? You don't want to reward the wolf pack by basing it on some percentage of past pay. And you don't want to arbitrarily **** off half the crew force (ask Delta MEC). Hopefully my lec rep who represents my seniority but is mostly voted on by other seniority blocks will stand up for sanity.
And if you retire before DOS you should certainly get a percentage of the signing bonus based on how many months you worked between contracts.

Am I missing something? Did some real intel leak? or are we all just deciding whats in this deal before any of us actually see it?
