Pardon my French but WHAT A F!?&ing embarrassment!! How could the MEC clear that for public view. This is what we spend on ALPA negotiating flight pay loss? I’m not even angry, just super embarrassed. I’m sorry fellow pilots, we deserve more than what the negotiators have given.
Perfectly said. What a joke.

My personal favorite of the TA is how we have this problem where nobody wants to upgrade or commute to reserve on the coastal bases due to QOL, and instead of addressing that, the TA simply puts a dollar value to it AND allows the company to assign you work even earlier on day one.
What a jarring disconnect.

at spirit I would drop my schedule to zero as soon as it was awarded, then sat waiting for premium trips. Bidding 65% FO I would only put a tie on for out-and-back day trips that credited over 15-20h. This was pretty standard if you lived in base. About 5 or 6 days a month of work to hit your 70h
the ability to be able to drop trips and gain some days off is priceless, even if you’re not playing these premium games. Any lineholder there can choose how many days off they want a month, and generally which days they want off, even after being awarded a crappy PBS schedule

That was the first thing I noticed. As a junior coastal captain, I figured they were going to make QOL better to attract more guys and make reserve more senior, but this will dissuade guys from doing it.

Anybody voting to approve a 14% improvement in pay on a contract that management will drag out for the better part of a decade when inflation is running 8% PER YEAR is not mathematically competent to judge their own divert fuel.

So vote it down, have two more years of negotiations and lose 20% more to inflation is the way to go. Got it 👍
