If this TA is voted in I go to 4 year pay, down from the 7 year pay I would be at now. When the SLI is finished I might find myself junior to a 2008 CAL hire and remain at 4 years of longevity.

I can understand how I might eat a giant **** sandwich with the SLI but to say that my longevity is tied to the CAL pilot senior to me on the new SLI is the lettuce and tomato on my giant *** sandwich.

I know that I am going to get screwed in the SLI but to actually have longevity taken away from me that I already have is crazy! I was hired at UAL over 13 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You sound like you are ok with this part of the TA because I get a raise from 7th year UAL current pay of $86 an hour to the TA rate of $112 an hour on 4th year pay.

I can already smell a class action lawsuit brewing.

Look. I am not going to argue with every swinging *** here about this TA. It's not eye watering, GREAT. But it is adequate and in many ways industry leading. It should pass as it did both MECs

Reminds me of an old joke: The neg chair says " in our new contract, we only work on Wednesdays. Any questions?"

A line pilot raises his hand....." You mean we have to work EVERY ####### Wednesday???!!!"

Even if your perception is true, you still go from 85/hr to 114/hr DOS. That's a 34% raise. I'm just sayin
