Nah it's easier to ***** and whine on Facebook and APC.

It's stuff like this that creates public disunity within the group that the company negotiators love.

I'm not the biggest fan of our current MEC chairman, mostly because of the way in which LOA 19 was negotiated, but I agree with how they are handling this situation. It's a shame it has unfolded the way it has but I find little fault with Bruce or the union.

I've called my rep and a negotiating committee rep and made my opinion known.

So why accept the same as everyone else, why not try to make ours the best of the 3? We are talking about a matter of days maybe weeks here. That's one new hire class if even.

Hey I hope it is the best. It should be, as we are arguably harder to hire for. Praise will be earned at that point. I'm done *****ing, it is just extremely frustrating. If you want a constructive suggestion, shoot for the highest hourly wage of the 3, 40+ per hour. Also, give the CAs 5K and the FOs not affected by the bonus 2,500 in retention.

Oh, so you're negotiating now? That takes too much time. We needed this done yesterday. What's taking so long!? Why is it taking you more than 3 seconds to get this done.

I'm joking, but I feel like we've come full circle here.

I'm just as anxious to hear what happens but I'm willing to give it some time, especially since we got a late start.

Wish I could see it. I need to make a decision about what class date to accept from two places by monday mid day. One of them is Piedmont and one is Endeavor. I can tell you if this would go through for Piedmont it would be a game changer. I am worried about going in blind and it not working out like the other two got. Or even worse that this drags on for a while.

^^ And that being said I have been leaning hard for Endeavor because of the second year pay at Piedmont. I have a family so more money would be big.

I wouldn't worry. This retention bonus will get done soon and it will look very similar to PSA and ENY.
