1> Why will seniors vote yes? they're giving up the tax free discretionary 410K contributions for +2% for a total of 12% 401K match that you will need to contribute into to get?

You have the average joe writing these policies. None of them are contract lawyers, nor do I expect them to be.
I'd rather just pay 2% in dues and have NMB recognized representation with professional lawyers and negotiators providing insight. That seems more beneficial in the long run seeing as SAPA cannot function properly.

None of the noobs expect to stay at OO, and 95% are likely correct in their assumptions.

RJ is a company man. Nothing more, nothing less. During the last round of pay talks for our current TA, him and all of SAPA agreed that they would settle for nothing less than a 5% raise. Then, the second MT goes "Well, we're thinking more along the lines of 1.5%" he just shakes his head yes and goes "Oh yeah, I could totally get on board with that." Meanwhile, all of the reps in the room are looking at him going "WTF?"
He is hands down the worst thing to happen to SAPA.

From January 2016 to January 2017, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) all items index rose 2.5 percent, the largest 12-month increase since March 2012.

There are no "hefty pay increases", once you account for the removal of quarterly bonuses, as well as the discretionary 401K contribution the initial increase for senior end is about 3%, and then nothing the coming year and then below inflation rate every year thereafter. If you compare them, it is well below what Republic and Endeavor currently have.
Because it is more consideration than they have been given in past proposals (sans the last one). Hefty pay increase, keep the PPS and another 401k match increase. If I was still there at that seniority level, I would prolly vote yes. Year 12-13 payscale (I would have been at) would make the decision to move on a "little" harder, but am happy I don't have to deal with it. Good luck y'all, still checking in, tho.
