This is the reason I said “basically equal”. Not sure if really matters unless u are on indefinite reserve though

I’m not interested in selling points of what happens after 82hr. Nor how many credits I can attain by working on my vacation days.

I’m interested in what happens for 75hr a month, our guarantee. Also enjoying my vacation days off and my other days off in a normal month. Not being strapped to flica alerts to go over 82hr.

In fact we should have negotiated a CREDIT CAP. Let’s promote growing the seniority list and making more people captains.

How about working smarter for more rather then working harder for more. How about an industry average wage so you can work your schedule and enjoy your days off?
Because that would be a good contract, and it would be worth much to us, and it would cost Indigo more to give it to us. They want us for cheap, they pulled every trick in the book to get us cheap, and we've fallen for them all. We lose, they win, period. 1,2,3 years from now every pilot, even those who, with their shaky little girl hands votes this in, will look back and cringe at the opportunity lost, that will never come back.

Voting YES folks. Anyone than can't piece together all the parts of this to see the total value, has done themselves a disservice. Do yourself a favor and factor in 3.5 rig, full pay DH, 5hr FDP minimum and apply it to your current schedule for next month. Calculate the pay at your current rate and with current work rules, then apply your DC. Then, do it with the new work rule changes, with your new rate, then apply your new DC. It's staggering.

Focusing on the rate alone is not the proper analysis. Don't micro-focus. Look at the big picture and you'll see the power of what's at your doorstep.

Vote YES.

We are once-again back to arguing over who's got the best double-wide in the trailer park.

And again a resounding straw man Yes sheeple, complete with zero seconds reviewing the AIP details. But hey, why do that, right? BB doesn’t want anyone to read the fine print, I’m sure.

Us against these DEN yes men, folks.....please read once it is released multiple times, and then vote intelligently, not impulsively.

I've talked to my NC and have a crystal clear image of what I'm voting on. Also, your assumptions about me and my DEN status could not be more wrong. #noimpulsions #onlyreality #getaclue #ifyouwantdeltagotodelta #dousafavor #intloverrideforplaceswedontgo

I’ll cancel his yes vote out so he’s really not even relevant at this point. 5hr duty period. Lots of 15hr 4-days in his near future. That’s what cost neutral contracts get you. Shuffle number to come out with the same result and these idiots fall for hook, line, and sinker. Pathetic

This is exactly how it has been presented to me by a few reps. Get used to it. This is what you will hear from our MEC and NC regarding what a great deal this is.
Just an industry average contract should look staggering in comparison to our current rates. Did I mention, industry average...Not in comparison to Spirit alone

It is funny that the premium pay over 82 is looked at as an improvement or gain.
We already have this. Just because this was one of the many concessions that Indigo demanded during negotiations doesn't mean it is a gain. The market adjustment to our current CBA and that we deserve during this period of pattern bargaining to bring a 2007 CBA to date, should be book or better in most areas....Not an additional concessionary correction.

So maybe you'd rather stay where you are?? The industry laughing stock, for perpetuity?? Get over yourselves. If you're a top 50% capt you make $167/hour! Are you freaking kidding me??? You beat your chests about industry average, so do the math and prove to me that this AIP is anything less than that. We're the industry chumps right now. Anyone willing to stay here and turn down the increases we're talking about should be medically evaluated for inability to exercise good judgement on their next evaluation. Is it perfect, well of course not. Is it a major improvement? Yes, and to the tune of 70%.

Someone previously said that this is a cost neutral AIP. That person may be the single most under-informed individual on the entire APC forums.

Voting YES, with at least 75% of my brothers. Get used to it.
