For example, TSA has better pay rates both captain and FO, better COLA increases (1.5% vs 0), same per diem but a scheduled increase, better sick payout for reserves (3.75/3.95 vs 4), faster rate of increase in vacation accrual (XJT 2nd tier, ASA 3rd tier)



XJT/ASA has better min days (2 XJT/3.86 ASA vs only reserve min day), split sick accrual per certificate (5 XJT or 2.75/3/3.25 ASA vs 3/3.5/4), Min days off only on the XJT side, vacation pay (3.5/3.75 vs 3.25), better health insurance caps (XJT 25%/ASA 30% vs 29%single/34% other), better retirement at XJT but worse at ASA until year 7.



With the value increase over the next 3 years and perpetual stagnation at ASA/XJT with the JCBA, I think the TSA contract has more value. Right now it's probably a wash, but I think it leans toward TSA. Some of the areas XJT/ASA is better could be fixed with the PBS agreement as well, min days as an example.

Do I need to post the whole comparison again or are you just going to cherry pick? And even the very few things you did pick, are not all better. You conveniently throw in ASA, who is more of a wash with TSA, in order to inflate the comparison.

Whenever we fall below performance standards, we are told that we need to do a better job of getting out on-time. When we are told we are doing a good job with performance (like last month when we all got a bonus for all but AA completion factor), I believe we are doing pretty good. At least good enough that Hulas, the guy who is famously stingy when it comes to giving out free money, decides to give everyone a bonus.

Anybody on here commute from ORD to STL? It looks like there is a flight almost every hour, but don't know if it's always full or one can reasonably expect some seat availability.

Thanks.
