We'll have the info we need soon enough to make an informed decision Q. Are you going to wait? Oh yea, you're not.
I have no choice but to wait - you know that...
On the other hand, consider this... WITHOUT being a workaholic family wrecker who picks up RSA's 24/7, how will the 99% BJ pilot demographic benefit from the low basic AIP bulletpoint rates?
What will the final language do? Tell us that reserve now starts at 1000L instead of 0200L. We should've had that all along! Even if it has better commuting possibilities, it still won't appreciably increase pay. BJ has engineered an almost cost-neutral proposal that simply trades rules we should've always had for us working harder but still not making professional rates. If rates don't increase substantially, then you're basically trading higher productivity (you work harder) to get better work rules. How is this a win for us?
We demand PAY & RULES, not trading one for another.
