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.

So when would this 2 year extension become amendable? 2 years from this January or 3 years from this January which is 2 years from original amendable date?

Extension or not, they can get a 100 seat jet. They don't need us to agree to an extension for that.

This.

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...

If true, that would certainly be the opposite of "Reserve assignment process improvements," IMHO.

Those "reserve assignment process improvements" are for the company.

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