I will wait for the details to get pushed out to the pilot group before I make my decision on reduced MPG....
I'm concerned this maybe the beginning of the end for ALPA. Not happy with splitting the pilot group by 1/3s. The bottom 1/3 keep their jobs but get insulted with 39MPG. Why not have have a standard 50MPG across the group? Does ALPA always have to cater to the top 1/3 of the group?

Why is it when everyone is hired they always ask the same question? "How many do I have to have beneath me until I'm safe?"
They knew the risks inherent with this career when they signed on the dotted line. These aren't my words but those from someone within the 2850 ranks.

Because the top 2/3's, for now, aren't being furloughed. It's still a seniority system but many are doing their best to reverse it.

I guess you don’t trust yourself to use your critical thinking hat and just vote no before you read it? Are you afraid of what happens when you start thinking for yourself, you might be tempted to see a nuanced position somewhere between the two ends of the spectrum? we have a lot of amazing guys and gals volunteering their time to try and make our careers better. I trust that the negotiating committee and MEC will not send us something terrible, and if We happen to not believe it is in our best interest, We will vote no.
try to treat situations like they are dynamic… It helps in the cockpit and in life too

50% pay isn't accurate. 50% MPG is, and is a mixed bag. Yes, you are earning less, but you are also only working 7.3 days a month (assuming bottom 1/3 and working MPG and 5 hours a day). At 7 days a month, most of us will have plenty of time for a side hustle to make ends meet.

flaming POS… Huh. The thing that no one has read yet? The agreement that our hard-working volunteer union members have probably been losing sleep to get to us for our review?
