Fact is It is pretty straight forward. I’ve read the TA. Two threeish times now. If you look at the comparison guide we are market rate.
We are deficient In a few areas. We are average in most areas.
Then we have some that are stellar.
Those are the facts. You choose to harp on the deficiencies. That’s fine. I added up my pros and cons. Some I can live with others I reall don’t like. But there’s nothing I can’t live with for 3-5yrs.
We can send it back. Fight tooth and nail for top tier everything. I think it’s a fools errand. You waste time mostly and resources. Personally I care less about the money and more about the time. You can’t get time back.
I’m not willing to lose another year or more to the DR for what may get improved. I like the majority of what is in the TA not all of it. I’ll hold my nose to the rates and cola. But in the end we have to start some where. If that’s not reasonable, I’m not sure what is. I’m ready for improvements to QOL as fast as it can be implemented.
You fight on buddy. I did my decade, I’m ready for a break. I’m ready for actual improvements. I’m ready to have real scope. I’m ready for contractual obligation.
Read my posts from 2008 till now. I’ve always fought for better. This TA makes life for jb pilots better imo, and it’s far better than the alternative.

How are we market rate?
Look at the Captain AND FO rates. Do you remember Calculus? Integrate the two curves for SWA and B6 and see what the total area is under the curves. We get paid less, yet we fly larger airplanes further distances, we do more international, and will start doing EU possibly in the near future. We are more productive than anyone else and we fly more at night than others, yet we get paid less.
