I agree.... Just curious: does anyone know what is the record for the fastest negotiation of an ALPA CBA in recent years?

Colgan/Mesaba/Pinnacle had a TA on their JCBA in like 4 months.

But this isnt a factor of ALPA, and more so the situation at the airline at that time. A BK was filed a year later as well...

Delta had a TA they ratified six months PRIOR to the ammendable date in 2012

Amazing how fast it can happen if the company reps are motivated.

I would agree to a two year extension with just an adjusted pay scale to match industry average if it was just a quick gimme to mitigate attrition and to keep attracting talent while they simultaneously negotiate terms for a new deal.

Of course that will never happen

I have heard specifics from people who all got it directly from a rep. These folks are friends with said rep.

I heard directly from the mec chairman that it is a false rumor. Interesting to find out which is true

I dont think I could vote for any 2 year extension that is industry average while our 401k, LTD, scope all remains below average.

Also, we need to view our wages based on a fleet that averages 198 seats per plane, and no longer 161 seats per plane, because that will be the situation in this next contract duration.
