Where is everyone getting all this company offer info? Why do I have to find out about it on APC?

I have other union emails so I'm pretty sure my email is working. Company email, personal email,...nada.

It was an email blast sent out tuesday night entitled "a message from your SPA MEC chairman." At the bottom of the content has the link to the PDF of the term sheet

Problem with this is we were only $47M apart several months ago. After a few "progress was made" emails we can assume the gap to be less than $47M. That means ALPA isn't asking for something equally ridiculous. If you took the company's offer and added $47M over 5 years, would you be a yes voter? I would not.

In recurrent in November Bendo came to speak and he was rather proud to confirm that we were in fact previously $47 mil apart and that significant progress was made to the tune of then being $25 mil apart. He then described how close that actually was by indicating that the new contract over its span would be paying $5 bil to the pilots. If true, close indeed.

I am going to throw the BS flag though, because if we were truly THAT close on a $5 billion dollar deal, AND they actually wanted a deal, they'd flippin just pay the lousy $24 mil.

Something fishy in Denmark. Path to parity is garbage. Parity at DOS or it's a really easy NO vote.

I believe managements "Offer" had no intention of Retro pay or a Bonus. I'm sorry, but Retro pay since August 1 is more than fair...........
