A Pilot shall receive Special Pay on January 1st, Martin Luther King Jr Day, July 4th, Memorial Day, fourth Thursday in November, and December 25th.
a. When the Pilot (or Instructor) is scheduled to work (including training) on a Special Pay Day designated in this Agreement, the Pilot shall be compensated at a rate of two (2) times the Pilot’s normal base rate of compensation for the scheduled or actual credit hours on that day or four (4) hours credit, whichever is greater.
b. Pilots required to layover on a Special Pay Day, but do not fly, will receive four hours (4:00) of Special Pay at their Regular Pay Rate. Pilots on reserve who do not fly will receive four hours (4:00) Special Pay at their Regular Pay Rate.

This is the false narrative that people believed in. There is no evidence to suggest that it would've taken that long. How many people were misled into a contract because they were afraid we would be bought out?
Did that happen? Yet, it was a popular narrative at the time as well.
Also, it discounts the possibility that BJ pilots could have exercised their powers to change the terms of the equation to force BJ to agree to more of our terms.
Remember, ALPA failed because 74% of you people failed to think. Now you are getting what you deserve. Several of us warned you to reject TA 1.0 for TA 2.0 and you acted reflexively, not logically.
Until BJ pilots learn to respect themselves, their profession, and learn to fight, nothing will change with the next contract.

I did that for about 4 years. Did about 150-180 hours a year, dequal’d on landings, it was awesome. 4 days of LC followed by REL sometimes for a perfect week. About 2 years ago that all came crashing down with the staffing issues (in FLL FO at least).
Glad it’s working for you still!

I know we are in different sides of this and that’s okay.
I voted yes, as did 74% of the group. I stand by my vote. As I stated earlier in this thread, based on the trips I fly, the contract got me a significant raise— All while working less. This Contract improved working here.
I hope despite our past differences, we can all be United (see what I did there) for a better contract with better pay and work rules in our next contract. I personally believe that we will be a much better negotiating position since we have a framework in place.

Pretty words, on paper. I for one don't believe them for a minute. The company was saving millions of dollars every month the CBA was delayed. But here we are now, with 1.0 nearly finished, and 2.0 is just around the corner.

I agree with this. At least I HOPE we are able to negotiate mo betta than what we have today, all the while making a better wage while waiting. If not, I may have to cross the line and hang out with queue, BD, disenchantmint. *shudder*

There’s also zero evidence that we wouldn’t still be negotiating contract 2.0.
The only thing that’s for sure is that implementation would definitely not have happened any sooner. I’d say it’s also a safe bet that the recent staffing increase would not have happened.
