That’s not even close to what we got. We ARE buying a used car off CL...that’s the point you and many others don’t get. The car we’re buying needs paint, the shocks are shot and the tires are almost bald. Yet we’re about to agree to the list price straight out the box.
Why? Because we’re scared they won’t sell us the car at all? Or better yet, if we turn down the first offer the price will go up?
Maybe we are that stupid...

Right. The scale no longer takes 14 years to reach the top rate, only 12. That is a benefit to all who are not already topped out. It doesnt help you, but it helps me reach the higher pay faster. A 12 year scale is industry standard. Unfortunately you had to wait 14 years to max out under the old (current) contract

I’m very familiar with United’s TA - esp. the one when merged with Continental. That was by NO MEANS anything close to what we are getting (Deta + 1). Who doesn’t take that? Not sure of Delta or AA. Southwest pilots were very upset throughout their negotiation process and their committee went back and forth quite a bit. But, when you get an offer that BEATS most current offers, you take it.

So we agree on something. However, I’m not willing to risk a year or more to get an additional few bucks per hour and lose the contributions to retirement. You’ll never recoup those losses and the cost of lost dollars to achieve a meek increase in rates becomes a “one step forward two steps back” exercise after a couple of months.
We all want what’s best for ourselves and the whole, it’s just a difference of opinion as to how we get there.

I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised. There are more pilots on property who do NOT benefit from the wages, PBS and bonus check than who do...
I’m thinking it doesn’t pass - about 70% no vote.
We may be last in every customer service metric but we’re not stupid. Nobody takes the first offer in a negotiation.

Too many trying to split hairs. Too many attempting to divert attention to something minor. Too many trying to find justification for voting yes on a completely BS contract. This is the FIRST AIP or something the pilots all get to vote on - can we all agree on that?
This AIP wage scale is the at the bottom of all domestic A-321 airlines.
This AIP contains PBS which the union positively affirmed they would not accept.
This AIP has no profit sharing, less per diem and less company DC to retirement than most other domestic barrow-body carriers.
Tell yourself whatever you want - accepting this AIP sells our and every other pilot group short.
It took Southwest 4 years to get what they wanted...
