If you don’t think the LTD and 401k overages were big gains then I don’t know what to say. I didn’t vote in favor of CBA 2018 but those were big gains that game over those 6mo. Very big.

Rates are close to Alaska’s, a little higher at certain steps. 12 year CA is $313 at DOS. Retirement is below market (13-15%) current contract is an employer match.

For us it would be a 35% raise at DOS - that’s how low our current rates are.

No way it gets voted on. Union president just applied for NMB. We are still a couple years away from a contract.

No nothing like that. Management is doing a media blitz to undermine the union. Management sent mailers telling us how much we are gonna miss out on if we don’t take the deal. Union is telling us at least 1-2 years for a deal.

Wow. Didn’t know it was like that. Best of luck over there.

And for reference, for some of the newer guys, his screen name refers to guys like him that would go against our pre 2018 contract and accept 200% over the 5 trips every pilot was allowed. You get 5, and that was it. Some pilots said screw it and worked deals with scheduling and circumvented the contract to suit their needs, like this clown, screwing over fellow pilots for their opportunity for some extra cash. And he was upset that some people took note of these people, "gravy chokers", and called them out.

So he complains and then screws over guys in the process. Its all about him, always has, always will. Let me guess, youre a "no voter" on the TA?


Trolled without even trying lol ... Correct on the no vote tho. FYI the most i even credited in this company was 100 few years back with a mixture of transition conflict and training conflict. Im not drowning in debt nor stupid enough to step over a dollar to get a quarter so pls, take a seat.

Now that Allegiant proposed rates are higher than this TA, does that change the way any of you guys vote?

In addition to that, they are preparing their strike committee.

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.

Justabusdriver1 01-08-2023 10:00 AM

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.

I love how some dude fresh off OE knows what everyone here is thinking and has all the answers. Are you even done with OE? Do you actually work here?

Yes, again, just a new spin to a tired argument. “Make more money now with your yes vote”. I know you’re new, you’ll see this same song and dance numerous more times in your career.

Youd be surprised how many FNG want this TA to pass. I understand them but im just glad they can't vote.

FNG here, yup can’t vote. Was a hard no mentality when it first came out. Despite not being able to vote I watched everything, did my research and am now on the yes side of things but not because of my substantial first year gain. I’d suggest you educate yourself further and leave emotion out of it.

What about those of us who have graduated beyond first year… it still doesn’t work for me. Am I wrong? Is yes truly the only answer?

We will find out in two days. Do you really think this thing will fail? I suspect a pretty strong majority *thinks* it is right to vote yes, regardless of if they are correct on that. I could well be wrong, I’ll know in 2 days!

It’s a close call, actually, and I’ve waffled back and forth. Even the KNOWN unknowns are substantial (timing of the JB purchase, the JCBA, whether the DOJ will even let it happen..? And then the effectiveness of the JB snap up, because they damn sure aren’t going to give up pay on the JCBA). It really IS a close call, and nobody should give anyone a lot of cr@p for deciding the other way.

Good for you and Yes, I did "educate" myself.. We'll get them next time.

A "close call" that I bet is over 65% Yes when the vote total is released. I dont think it is as "close" as you think it is. 2018 was not close, this wont be "close"

I love the smugness! Brand new but you watched the roadshow livestream so now you’re the educated one in the group. Did you consider that a $40 raise to someone who makes $230+ isn’t perceived the same as someone making $60?

Did you consider that not everyone eligible to vote makes $230 an hour right now?

Your point is that the raise isn’t enough for you. That’s fine, vote no. Just don’t assume the majority feels the same way. At least, not until Tuesday. Then we’ll know.

Amazing thing is like nobody in management cares. They are all on cruise control, nobody cares their 2nd largest base is basically a ticking time bomb every freaking day. Can you imagine if say LAX or MSP was having issues like that, what DAL management would be doing? Ted, nope. What a freaking piece of trash.

Sorry if I’m coming off smug for educating myself and talking to people outside the echo no chamber you live in to arm myself with as much knowledge as I can for something I have no say in, yet also effects my future. Take emotion out of it and think about the timeline in front of us.
