I will not be accepting a continuation of a concessionary contract even longer. If the company is understanding and open to that perhaps we can move quick. If they simply want to use this to further extend a concessionary contract, they might get a deal done by November 15..... 2020.

I'm with you, if this contract is not progressing forward from what XJ had pre-bankruptcy, it's a NO vote for me also.

I think the MEC guys understand this also.

Not to fuel the fire, and Higney correct me if I'm wrong but:

The negotiators are NOT attempting to negotiate with the 4% snap-back in mind.

Not to mention that those rates wouldn't be as high as 9E negotiated previously.

I hope so man, I hope so. I've got a no vote ready if what I heard from our MEC Vice-Chair AVV is true...

Bringing you guys to the table should not only raise the Pinnacle pilots bar, but it should raise the Mesaba pilots bar because now the strength is 140+ aircraft (not sure what you had before).

Of course, then there are the Colgan guys :p but I hope they have their no votes ready to show this company that they don't take crap.

I'm sure they do, but will it be what we want? I'm sure management is more than happy to wipe their ass with a piece of paper, label it "contract", and hand it back to the pilot group to sign off on. Hell...we don't need until Nov 15th to get THAT done!

Let's hope our negotiating team keeps their eye on the prize and doesn't get buffaloed into signing off on some P.O.S. just for the sake of having a T.A by the 15th!

If AxialRose is a barometer for Colgan then they would give their family jewels for a fence and a promise of PIC.

those TA rates are still mostly less then our snapback rates. It's even $3 less than my current pay right now. Block or better, 4 hour min day, sliding vacation grids, DH pay, min days off, medical, 401K match there is way more to the picture than an extra $2/hour.

A 1.5% increase in 401K match will net us all tens of thousands of dollars more than a uniform match. Don't vote purely on pay. please

Does anyone have the Mesaba pay rate table? w/ and w/out snapbacks...

oh and remember, some of those things you have weren't even negotiated into Pinnacle TA1...

Im going to make an assumption that you meant to say "Don't vote purely on pay"
