When they came back they offered, among other things:
Fleet guarantee of 170 aircraft minimum.
Enhanced flow through (no interview) to AA for everyone including future new hires.
The FIRST 60 E-175s purchased from the factory plus the next 90 options. Any E-175s acquired from any other source than the factory would not have counted toward the 60+90 numbers.
A 4/12 pay cap that was staggered over the next few years instead of taking effect right away. Anybody outside of the 4/12 would not have a snap back.
That is just for starters. There was more but they absolutely improved their offer for Envoy.
In regards to Piedmont, it's like I said before: Their biggest asset is their pilots. At the end of the day AA needs those pilots regardless of which aircraft they are flying. In other words: Piedmont is NOT going anywhere regardless of how you vote. Just as Envoy IS NOT going anywhere.
A NO vote by Piedmont may, JUST MAY put both airlines (Piedmont and Envoy) back in the driver's seat and bring enhanced contract proposals. On the other hand, a YES vote by Piedmont would just drag out these horrible PSA style contracts for the next decade.
A no Vote "May" shut down the airline of only 300 pilots. Hard to replace them?? hahahahah Hello Airwiskey! We'd like to extend our current contract for 5 more years. Replacing an airline with 25 year old Dash's and only 300 pilots is kinda easy. Nothing compared to Envoy. Plus you guys had a get out of jail free card! How many senior guys that are now at American would've voted NO if they didn't have the flow in there pocket?? I remember a bunch saying, "screw it! shut it down! We'll just Flow!" PDT people don't have that luxury!!Originally Posted by embraer
Well, Envoy was originally offered the current PSA disaster. When they came back they offered, among other things:
Fleet guarantee of 170 aircraft minimum.

And So basically Eagle was gonna get all the E-175's??? Where did that leave PDT people?
This vote will pass..... It's time PDT people look after PDT people.
