You vote No Bd?
I discussed my concerns about specific provisions here and with reps openly, and I feel we could have possibly (maybe, maybe not) pushed harder in May for additional value, but ultimately since "going back to May and staying at the table" isn't on the ballet, I thought YES was the best option considering all "likely outcomes" of YES or NO.
I trust our union officials, but don't trust this company or a VERY large proportion of this pilot group.
Don't care if that offends anyone, it's just reality. Too many of our guys lick windows and eat boogers and actually EXPECT to make less than our peers. Can't win a war with a "special" army.
With that said, we have some good provisions in the CBA and in one single contract at least moved into the bottom of the top tier of airline CBAs (we absolutely deserve to be in the top tier). Those other CBAs have been the result of decades of cumulative iterations and improvements.
So, we are now in 7th out of the 9 companies I consider carreer companies (Delta, United, American, Southwest, FedEx, UPS(first 6 not in order), JetBlue, Alaska,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Spirit(sorry Spirit, not a great contract).
