The TA has some good nuggets in there.

However...
The Retro, or whatever it's called, is a HUGE disappointment.

Also, I was hoping for a better pay rate, but presumably the snap up clause should keep us from being embarrassingly far behind our peers once they get their new rates.

At this point, I think its a question of RISK vs REWARD.

We are in an unprecedented period where the leverage has swung in favor of the pilots. We also however, are facing the possibility of some STRONG economic headwinds if the economists, and business leaders are to be believed.

If you're more on the cautious side, vote YES to lock in the big QOL, Scheduling and Scope wins, and hope that the Snap Up works as intended.

If you're determined to get that once in a lifetime contract, vote NO and fight to get what you think you really deserve, and hope that you get it before the sheet hits the fan (disrupts the airflow).

Attend the roadshows, get educated (e.g. projected W2 improvements), and that should allow you to confidently make a choice, one way or another.

It’s simple, vote no.

If this were true, (it's not) then the company wouldn't have any vested interest in what happens next. They would have given us whatever we wanted before they pulled the T-handles.

They didn't.

Dude I am not a yes vote advocate. I think everyone should vote what they feel. Please vote no, if you don’t like the TA.

I really, really want to attend the SFO roadshow. That is truly a can’t miss sob fest. I am absolutely going to clear my calendar, bringing the best 🥃🥃🥃, and just watch the show😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not surprised. Typical AS SEA pilot right here. Stand up, make a change, vote no. This “Alaska Discount” that these two started, needs to stop.

I actually know his birth month and year. Surprisingly he’s not 12.

Doubtful. Doesn’t change anything.

If they really needed it, then they did a really poor job getting across the goal line.

I guess old habits die hard.
