Oh I solved the problem.

As for you guys...

Get a union? Then settle in for a drawn-out contract battle over a period of years. This tough because the up-and-comers don't want to rock the boat, and the super-senior guys view unions... poorly.

SAPA could try to focus on QOL next time around. The company will avoid that like the plague. All recent enhancements have been linked to credit... so you get more, but only if you work more (pay, 401k, PPS, etc). A completely new paradigm would be to seek QOL enhancements that don't involve working more (min reserves, vacation slots, min days off, cadence, etc). I tried to tell them that last time.


How long is your current agreement for? Five years? And who said a new contract has to be drawn out? It won’t take half that time to get a new contract. New leadership would probably poll the pilot group to figure out what to negotiate. The parts you guys are already happy with would just be copied and pasted into the new contract.

I have voted yes on every union vote since the first one, teamsters, to give a time reference.

I'd vote yes tomorrow, and I know many close to my seniority would do so as well.








Same here...
