We don’t negotiate for inflation?
 
Turned off the bs town hall. Really Jeff! We don’t negotiate for inflation? Why not? We do now! Also stated home prices have not gone up with inflation. These guys are so out of touch.

I tried to listen but nothing they stated in the snake oil sales can convince me of anything but a NO VOTE. logging on now to cast!

I watched it too. I turned it off when he said “housing costs haven’t gone up”. Time to replace Jeff, Brad and the NC and make them fly as line pilots for at least the next 12 month.

Wild, since they said medical costs are going up “due to medical inflation.”

TX too. According to Zillow my house has doubled in price since I have seen a raise. Fortunately my mortgage is locked in but everything that goes along with owning has gone through the roof. Electric/Gas/Property taxes.

OMFG. You guys sooo have to vote this down for the good of our profession. And you have to clean house with your union leadership. Unreal.

A 5-second Google search would've told them that home prices have, in fact, gone up with inflation.

From Politico, back in March of this year:


The Biden administration has struggled for months to allay Americans’ concerns about the highest inflation in four decades. But when it comes to the single biggest driver of runaway prices, Washington’s hands are mostly tied. Skyrocketing housing costs may create even bigger problems for the administration going forward than oil and food price spikes, which are the result of sudden and unforeseen — but probably temporary — events. That’s because there’s no clear end in sight for shelter inflation.

Home prices rose a blistering 18.8 percent in 2021, and rent has climbed 17.6 percent nationwide over the last year, industry data shows. But those prices, the result of a severe supply shortage fueled by municipal government restrictions across the country, haven’t fully shown up in inflation figures because leases are typically annual.

The question is do they have the dignity to resign IF the TA is rejected?

No. Not 12 months; the rest of their careers. They should be blackballed from any ALPA positions - volunteer or otherwise.

Doubtful. That's why we need to start the resolution process before the TA closes.

What do you mean by negotiate for inflation? Do you really think it isn’t considered? There is a reason there isn’t a single publicly traded company does gauge wages directly to inflation, unlike the government. No airline contract will ever agree to it nor do you really want it. What happens when Delta rates are higher than inflation adjusted UAL rates???

Nope. This crowd has been around too long and think that they’re immune to accountability.

They’ll need to be unceremoniously tossed out. Looking forward to seeing them on the line.
