The company already provides PS commutes when it's tight aka expensive. Our reserve rules are almost there, just need a few more hours and some help in the short call and field standby areas. You're right about double pay though. That's too much. I'd take 15% annual cost of living increases for the next five years, an accumulated downgrade that meets you more than half way. DONT NEGOTIATE IN PUBLIC. I'm not. Please don't. Save it for the union's survey.

Given the inflation the current administration has brought upon us, we better get full retro and 25% on day one…. And that’s just to break even. Anything less is a pay cut and better be DOA.

Our customers have less money available to purchase tickets, the company has more difficulty increasing fares, and our business expenses rise as well. All of this means a smaller pie, both for our customers who provide our revenue, and at the company level when trying to remain profitable. I’m not saying that we should tuck our tails and hide under the bed, but not only are we up against inflation, but we also have to pay back a huge amount of covid debt with interest. The narrative from the company should be entertaining.

At least the inflation is making the debt “smaller.” Just like the govt trying to inflate their way out of the national debt.
