anything less than what we currently have is a no vote from me... burn it down. I'll just get a job somewhere else or doing something else.

I'm voting yes no matter what comes out.

It will pass regardless of what's in it.

20% of you will be miserable regardless of what's in it.

Fact is, we would have had more if the LXJT idiots hadn't tried to reinvent the PBS wheel...You can all thank the LXJT MEC for the turd you are about to see ...

Ummmm......wasn't there something on the previous page with an illegal bid run which MAY be out by the end of the month? Meanwhile this LXJT idiot who did line bidding already has his August schedule, improved last night while sitting at a bar during the LIW.

Unreal that you just take what is given to you.

Well at least I know my no vote will cancel out your yes vote if this TA is ****. I hope they specifically put something in the contract about you getting 1/10th of your current pay, just you, so you vote yes to your own pay cut.

On a side note, I'll start spinning the rumor mill: I personally asked someone, but I won't name names, about the possibility of a LGA and MSP base. I was told that there is talks right now, and that is a possibility along with a few more bases due to the FT/DT regulations. This will help build better schedules for the company. Now this is confirmed that there is just talks, but no confirmation of what bases, if any, will actually come about.

I got my schedule 3 days ago. Working 7 days next month. Worked 8 days this month.

If it hadn't been for your MEC, this TA would have been done before the Pinnacle agreement.

Well said Joe. And I think 90% of that 20% is on APC, that's why the APC polls are always inverse to reality

I believe only the 700/900 fly thru those cities right now, so I can only assume, at least for the ASA side...

This was on the CRJ side. Like I said, this is for the FT/DT rules, which kind of scare me as it seems we are heading for more working days for the same amount of work, instead of making better use of pairings to have the same or more days off.

You might want to talk to your union reps once the nondisclosure agreements aren't as important. You have one side of the story and to think that one side was responsible for negotiations breaking down is pretty laughable. There is plenty of blame to go around.
