The good news is at any rate, you get back the tax overpayment in a refund when you file.

This is a common misconception. Either way the taxes are the same. Large payments made at once (be it retro, bonus, etc) are WITHHELD at a higher rate. The reason for this is the company projects that income on a monthly basis. In other words if they pay you $40,000 at once then they project you to make at least $480,000 that year ($40k*12 months). Someone making that money pays more taxes then someone making $100k/year.

Plus, looking at the agreed to LTD plan, it's apparent no one is thinking about tax implications.

Captains will receive $50,000 each and first officers will each get a voucher for a turkey sandwich in their V file. Most of those vouchers will be stolen by flight attendants, but it won't matter because the vouchers will only be good at the schlotzsky's that closed this month. Captains will complain they didn't get a voucher.

Way to go Mr. Pedantic.
Please consider probability versus possibility.
The hourly rate ask is too low. Reserve rules weren’t fixed and are arguably worse than current book, long term disability still isn’t own occupation, per diem is industry trailing, we didn’t even ask for profit sharing, I don’t believe we will be seeing the ability to drop down to zero credit like Delta and (I believe) Spirit, Aaaaaand we’ve already agreed to a 5 year deal.
While it’s **possible** that all these things will be fixed in the 11th hour, it’s not **probable**. Hence, my no vote.

If we only have to fly on Wednesday's, does that mean every Wednesday? Seriously....there is nothing to vote on, not even bullet points from an AIP. Not even bullet points from a mediation session for that matter. This post is about as ridiculous as the guy posting about the GOA. Relax.
The worst part about this situation is that even if we get everything we’re asking for, it will be a sub-standard AIP.
