I think we have to at this point. If we don't I'd like to see a recall vote, as they will be killing recruitment. I understand the principle involved, but it doesn't work when your siblings already agreed to the terms.

Wholeheartedly agree if this is the case.

It seems like PSA and Envoy announced their new deal, what about Piedmont?

Piedmont has announced nothing, and our union has been silent on the matter. I completely understand the whole "benefit the entire pilot group argument", but let's not forget that FOs are only on a 4 year pay scale which, under the proposed plan, tops out at ~$40/hr. Captain pay in the jet tops out at $87 on a 12-year scale.

I'm also operating under the assumption that current FOs would not be eligible for the retention bonus since our union (smartly) turned down the retention bonus earlier this year /s.

All I can say is I'm glad you guys aren't running our MEC. We have a lot leverage right now, why waste it on a bonus that only benefits some.
