You did take a paycut!

In buying power that is, with inflation at about 3-4% per year since the contract was up (2years) that would be 6-8% paycut that yall took! You must have been one of the 418, because everyone I ask is part of the 400.

Additionally, are you getting block or better yet??? Ooopsy, finally, agreeing to this check in crap was probably the biggest concession yall took, pbs be damned if you get the right language it works fine.

You missed my point. We did not see a decrease in our pay rates.

I am one of the 400 and carry my vote receipt with me during all trips/commuting. Next time you see someone who claims they voted no, ask them to see this piece of paper.

We have been getting paid block or better since December. I examine each paycheck, and the numbers add up to reflect what I have flown.

No one is checking in yet. I see this as a enormous pain in the ass.

Your buying power has decreased with the new contract. The 418 achieved nothing but a few months stay of execution.
