What if management drags this out until JCBA? Are y’all willing to risk that not having a pay raise until a JCBA? Just curious where y’all stand if this is the case

The likelihood of that is minuscule. The company came to the table early for a reason. The only reason for them to stall if we vote no is for petty vindication. Which I have no doubt they would succumb to, but they also have to answer to shareholders.

Its embarrassing that our MEC would try to scare us into accepting this subpar contract, except for 12 year CA of course....remind me what payscale the negotiating committee falls under?

Also, Im just gonna mention it on every post I make from now on: this TA lets the company raise 1st pay to 137 in the future without giving us anything. Look how well thats going for frontier right now. if we vote this in it never goes away. B6 will want it. it might not matter now but in 15 years...

The question is this-

Had the JB numbers come out before the Spirit numbers, would this have been presented to you?

One thing to consider. If we agree to this TA, we pretty much are saying we are not as good as JB pilots. I wonder how much ammo this will give them come SLI. I bet it works in there favor. I can already see their union saying. “Look we both had a TA at the same time and the spirit guys are looking to us to help them out and bring them up to industry average. Of course we should get better SLI percentages”. I know I would try it if I was a JB pilot.

Especially considering the same people who brought us this TA are going to be negotiating the SLI.

That's a great idea for a lanyard.

Better yet, I’d like to see this as a lanyard, not just for the NK group but for all of us in Section 6:


It IS next time!

We all know you cant vote and you need it to pass so you can pay your bills for the next 9 months. The question is, are you willing to sell us all out because you dont plan on being here when it eventually bites us all in the ass?

As a Frontier guy, I agree 100%.

We didn't think much of it when it was a TA, but now, it's been a very significant thing.

Frontier raised 1st year pay twice, started paying for hotels and added a sign on bonus. All of which didn't require the company to come to the union

So in essence "industry leading"? Nicely done. 😘
