We have leverage right now. I hope we, as a union, us that leverage. Will we have the same leverage in 2 years? Who knows.
I hope we choose to keep moving the ball forward now, instead of hoping and dreaming that we can move it forward in 2-6 years.

Granted, they may be interested in firmly establishing a CS100 rate as the UPA only specifically mentions the CS300 but there is an existing mechanism in the UPA to do that outside of a full contract negotiation.
IMHO, the company obviously wants something else and a new small jet is just a shiny object to divert focus and dangle in front of the more gullible. It's probably not a coincidence that there was a CS100 parked in the UAL MX hanger in ORD yesterday with small UA decals stuck on the side.

Rumor control post. I Heard the union caved on reserve rules. (No penalty for SC's and FS's greater than 2 for a 13% DOS and 3% next 2 years. Essentially removing LC reserve from the equation. I am sure this is a small part of the whole deal, but if this is remotely true, it is a no vote here. If anyone can shed more light, it would obviously be welcomed. Thx...

I am sure there are some that will take the increase in pay in exchange for it.
(The ones that don't sit reserve).
