Can somebody post the company proposal chart with JetBlue 190 as well as the other Alpa carriers 319/320/321 added on. It would be comical to see it side by side. Also educational for those that don't know what the others are making. It's a shame we actually have guys with their heads that deep in the sand but hey it's FLL

Maybe you're right. But why are we left to speculate? Let's hear something substantive from our union, please.

But I have to question whether our union's own proposal was materially better than the company's since we all got the NC's update just a few months ago gushing about how close we were to a TA and about how plans were being made for pilot phone conferences and pre-roadshows. Did the company backpedal? If so, then show us; show us an offer the company made in the past that inspired such bubbly negotiating updates.

We can't all come on here and bash the company's offer unless we know what our union is demanding. We need to know just where our NC stands and what it means by the rather ambiguous phrase, "pathway to parity." Until our union provides this information, we have no way of knowing whether we're on the right track.
What scares me is that our NC have been at the table negotiating with that garbage in the first place. I would not be able to contain my laughter when they slid that across the table. The fact that they didn't means we are not asking for something that far removed from that proposal. We are 40-65% off pace right now just in rates for most of our pay scale. Does not include PS, retirement, disability, etc.

They are planning on doubling the fleet while almost tripling ASM in the next 5 years with larger seating capacity. That is a lot of people to be responsible for at a deep deep discount.

Our NC should be able to show exactly how much transition costs the company each month. An actual dollar amount. Subtract that figure from industry leading (or average depending on how you view it) A320 pay, retirement, etc and slide it across the table.

Not too sure how up to date it is, but just a few clicks away on this website.

^^^^And that's today! With everyone on that list negotiating as well except AA.

Tell you what management. I'll take your DOS+4 rates and retirement starting Jan 1st 2016 with no transition changes as quid for bailing you out of your massive incompetence now SIX months ago and we can go ahead and start negotiating a real contract now while work under those rates.

^^^^*all of the above.. It's time to stop! Stop volunteering to help at job fairs, stop helping scheduling, stop going above and beyond... Fly your line, fly the CBA, fly safe. No more helping during irops, the *****s need to stop too....suck it up for a few months or sell a boat or two. Stickers, picketing, social media... Get the word out! The war is on!

Management places no value on us!

Just to be clear - Section 6 started on 8-1-14 or am I wrong?
No, it did not... Section 6 will start now. This was all a waste of our time by the company by using the "expedited process".

Management is a cancer. Do your job and only your job.

even calling pilots to let them know about this turd (just like the meltdown whe he was helping the sinking dinghy ) ....

so there is no misinterpretation of their offer to us.
His next "podcast" better be all fired up about this and it better be extensive.

You realize it was the FLL "head-in-the-sand" guys that were trying to 'splain to you and your "we're really close" ilk that we were years away? All the while you were busting our balls? But hey, you're smart now. Welcome to the party - now get the sand out of your ears.
