No, two reasons.

#1 this isn’t an official TA for Allegiant

#2 our TA, isn’t a normal contract…it’s just a pay raise while we negotiate our JCBA with JetBlue.

I agree. Company circumventing their union. It’ll be awhile before they actually implement anything. Months at best. Second fact is spirit is at the table now to address new hire and attrition issues. If our new contract doesn’t improve those problems they’ll be back to the table to increase rates again.

If piece of tape doesn’t stop a leak you go back and rematch it.

It’s not a TA but it is proposed rates. That’s just semantics. Also, you may be stuck with that pay raise for 2-3 years. Why not get a pay raise to match your peers?

Oh no, imagine the horror of being stuck with a pay raise for 2-3 years (particularly one that’s backloaded to be a lot better for 2024). Much worse than being stuck with what we have now for 2-3 years. Horrific.

The primary logic of yes voters is that we will ultimately get more money in our pockets by taking the money now than by pursuing a slightly bigger raise that might not come for months or years.

Which, of course, is usually the logic used to pass any TA1… this isn’t unique.

Well, the yes voters also argue that the upcoming TPA and JCBA change the timeframes substantially and that we don’t have years to waste negotiating now when we’ll already be negotiating again in a year. Right or wrong, that’s the belief, and this will pass roughly 70-30 I’d guess

In a year? The merger may not even be complete in 2 years. Then, the JCBA happens after that. So, I think it could be 3+ years.
