Thank the company?
Nah
Nope
Thank our negotiators, and keep your powder dry. The daily fight for CBA compliance starts 3/1.

I think "crap wages" may be a relative term.

If you're making 150k a year and having a hard time making ends meet- and think you're life is going to "dramatically change" by making 200k while spending another ~800 nights away (mostly at airport hotels) from your family over the next decade- I'd like to hear how that works for you.

Fornaro coined the term Low Tier, will your vote endorse it?

Having been through three bankrupies with two different airlines, a furlough and taking a 65% paycut after 911, yeah, it’s pretty relative to me plus most of our first officers.

This pay raise will benefit many families. Many have had it a lot worse for too long than this supposed horrible contract offers.

Time to update your resume if the prospect of this new contract is too much to bear. I’m sure your family will support you on whatever decision you now make.

I’ll now deal with what this contract offers as I’ve successfully dealt with what this industry has dealt me over the years.

O yeah? So this contract means you will spend 6.6 more days per month on the road than you do now? Don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on your way out.

Attacking someone for questioning a yes vote for a low tier contract?

I'm curious... How do you figure? So many no voters are assuring me that we don't know what we are voting in until it happens. The whole Obama care thing... So which is it? Live sucks, or we don't know?

Yo Dougie, you keep saying this. You even said it to me personally in another thread. Don't you see, the reason I'm voting NO is because I actually *enjoy* working here and do not want to leave. And I won't. Why do you think I feel so strongly about my vote? This is over 1/3 of my remaining career we're talking about. (8, if we're lucky, divided by 22.5)

Of course this TA, when it passes, (and it will) will make mine and my families life better. Heck, if you walked up to me and gave me a $20 bill it would make my families life just a little bit better. But I'm fully prepared to work under it. Heck, the money is already earmarked for home improvements.
