Default Easter Eggs in the TA

Every word written in the new TA isn't there by accident. Let's compile a list of management easter eggs that you won't hear about from our union. I found a few so far so I'll start with this: 1) Vacation will be worth 2:20 when computing a line holder's MPG in a 30 day month and 2:20 per day MINUS one vacation day for a 31 day month.

The dissenting MEC members are customarily offered the chance to produce a “Con” statement on why they voted No....has anyone seen one?

How is it that we don’t learn from lessons past. We have regretted every single concessionary contract in the past. Why will this be any different? This TA is just more awful than imagined.

I believe that TI said it passed unanimously did he not?

“Unanimously” is conspicuously missing. As is a “recorded” or “roll-call” tally.

“The MEC and committees have been working on our strategy for over six months, and have come together to vote IN FAVOR of this agreement. I want to thank the entire MEC for working together collaboratively to ensure our negotiators had MEC support reaching important goals and crafting creative solutions to a nearly impossible problem.”

The CON statement will come from C12 since they voted no. It is in progress. The other no vote was the C11 Capt Rep.

Tally was 16/3.

That was the first one that jumped out at me. Another one was the whole "stay on the Guppy/Sparky so we can short course you and you get to keep your previous seat pay rate." Any thoughts on why the company wants to incentivize as many people as possible to forego a full transition training course? Any thoughts on why there's a call for 30-50 new Guppy TIs? Any thoughts on why they can furlough in eight months? Any chance there's a connection there?

for MPG pro-ration, yes. That does not mean that vacation does not pay 3.25 per day ADD PAY as per section 3-F. That would be a good PDR for clarification.
