So far I fly with all sub 2000 seniority guys and they are not too happy. But they won’t say they are voting no in it, funnily enough. Just what they don’t like. I get the want for higher pay, retro, and contribution But the bullet points is a good offer and most fleets do get a 2 in the front of their pay raises with pay banding. I don’t and it sucks flying 767 isn’t a “widebody” despite my 11 hour flights. But that’s not enough for me to vote no.
I also surveyed I wanted QOL focused on. I have a long time left here and I get it if you’re sub 5 years you don’t really care except the $ sign. But some of these changes would still include a lot more soft time pay to our checks. Of course we have to see the final writing. I’m also not convinced voting no is going to make the next offer better and the lost money from voting no on this to a next offer (who knows how long that will be) will be paid back to me. Not saying I’m voting off fear because overall I like the offer, but it’s at least a consideration.
I had to unfollow the contractFB group. I could not take another post about how my generation needs to pay back our elders for something that occurred 20 years ago and the all out war of boomers vs millennials. Ever since I unfollowed that group my happiness has never been higher … lol
