Nah. Just wondering if you will temper down just a wee bit now that the REAL United deal has been released, instead of the fake news before. I’ve met guys who are saying a NO based on DOS of 320/hr. Not DOS+3 at 320, a no to DOS at 320. Others who are a no vote based on reserve rules.
Why you hating on me when I believe “my MEC speaks for me.”
Which means, if my MEC votes yes on a TA and then passes it to me for a vote, I’ll vote yes too. Because my MEC speaks for me. Why, do they not speak for you?

It was sarcasm. It’s just so overused. Of course it’s a one way street argument, it only applies to management, but not for me.
Have several buddies at United, they sound mad about this TA. They aren’t in the my MEC speaks for me mood today.

To say we are not going to fair well in negotiations going forward is an understatement.

The MEC is in absolute lockstep that they will not push a TA over the finish line for the sake of having a TA.
It’s been said multiple times on podcasts, this will not be a 51% vote…..that they won’t deliver a TA to the pilot group unless they are 100% convinced that it will pass with flying colors.
This MEC has worked tirelessly for better part of the last 4 years to rebuild and unify this pilot group and knows that without unity? We have nothing.

You're really the only person who can answer your question. If you have specific questions about AS I'll do my best to answer them.

I enjoyed my time at an ACMI carrier. My time at Alaska not so much. The pay is better. The work rules, time at home and variety are WAY worse. I commuted at ACMI and drive at Alaska. If I was 10 years younger, I would not still be here at Alaska. Pay is not everything. Your mileage may very.

This place ain’t perfect, and reserve blows a$$ 10 ways to Sunday around here. The 5, 6, or 7 day trips, all hand built with zero regard to fatigue mitigation, and whatever can be imagineered with Open Time trips by the minions stuck between the rock and a hard place at Angle lake. So unless you’re on reserve, which is short lived these days…
The difference in QOL between LH/OF and RSV blew my mind. You either ain’t been here very long or just you prefer to get off on b!tchin and complaining.
