IMO this deal was crafted by the same guys as C2012. The whole thing was done before it started.
IMO they had the votes they needed to pass the MEC before they started. The reps they had in the bag have been caught flat footed. IMO they had no idea it would be this pathetic. The important details sprung on them at the last second.
Now what do they do? They do as they are told and they hate it. Played for fools.
We cannot let this pass. As Scoop said, if we miss this opportuntiy, we do our profession to mediocrity for decades to come.

RA said this offer is going to be his best. Main rule of negotiation is to put pressure on the other side. Our union is not following basic rules of negotiation. Be patient and put pressure on the other side. We are putting no pressure on the company and we are not being patient. We are getting owned in the best environment in history. This will be the largest raise we ever get going forward. If 8 percent is correct, then our buying power has peaked again. We only lead the industry in a few areas. Profit sharing, sick leave, OE recovery obligations, etc. Southwest, American, and United still make a higher hourly rate than us. You read that right. A Southwest pilot was making an hourly rate higher than our current rate 3 years ago. It is obvious that our company wants us to have an industry standard contract. They want concessions in every industry leading section.
Don't get me wrong, there is a huge list of failures in this TA.

DXB-MXP-JFK to be more accurate. I think that EK was doing this a few years back, then discontinued, if I remember correctly. Most butts in the seats were probably still South Asian. Nice try, we can still keep trying to throw spaghetti against a wall....I really hope all you guys support the IAM and IBT and SEIU. Never realized what great trade unionists we had on this forum.
