Scope Proposal at American
American Offers Pilot Contract With Vote Call - Bloomberg
The code share sounds scary.
ALPA has traditionally fought the RJ at mainline, with RJ pay rates, idea ... even when pilots are on furlough. (examples include US Air, Northwest and Delta). This reads like management negotiating in the press more than anything else.
There is no need for the Bombardier C series, or similar jet to pay less than similar mainline jets and no need for it to be outsourced.
The offer would set separate pay rates and rules for pilots on aircraft of fewer than 125 seats, creating a “B” wage scale.
American also wants to expand a so-called code-share agreement with Alaska Airlines to fill gaps in its U.S. West Coast network. It would start similar relationships with US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) on a Boston-New York-Washington shuttle where flight limits prevent American from adding its own service, and with JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU) in New York, so the carriers would be able to book American passengers on those flights.

Oh. Maybe not a good idea for Delta or American pilots.

Like I said above, 25% up front and 7% per year is a good start for me to consider voting Yes. Anything less is concessionary and an insult.
