I see it as educational and opportunity to make a more educated decision. Being that his only skin in the game is for his best interest, why would he be salesman? It only stands to reasons his information and thought process is that it's the best deal for where we are at now and what we can expect going forward.

So putting facts out there is a "sales campaign"?

You just can't make this stuff up...🙄

BK is posting mathematical facts, not his opinion. I’m a no vote for now, I’ll roll the dice, however you cannot argue mathematical proof.
Amazing someone tells you 2+2=4 and people want to argue it’s validity.

How do you know the pilot recruiters are telling the truth?

BK is providing us a calculator to make an informed decision. To ridicule him and his effort is ridiculous.

To those of you arguing that he's just become a salesman, I ask you this: what's more valuable, a calculator to provide information, or guys just totally making up BS on the forums with zero proof?

From my understanding, the calculators will become available for everyone to use and experiment with different numbers. How long do you think itll take to reach TA2? 6 months, 12 months, 18 months? You can use his calculator to see how it will effect your earnings over time. That's not a salesman, that's providing facts.

Some guys, (Reserve CA), might be surprised to see how much a No vote might cost them.

Out of curiosity, how much additional back pay or signing bonus is BK factoring in?

I would think that one of the improvements we would seek in a modified AIP is a greater percentage of back pay.

Out of curiosity, how much is BK factoring in for loss of income if a person medicals out, but is limited to $8k per month for only 2 years because the insurance company deems him capable of making a replacement income.

I would hope that improved LTD would be part of a revised AIP.

Do BK’s calculations include the absence of profit sharing for the next 5-7 years?

Do BK’s calculations include the loss of career earnings Frontier pilots will face by accepting the notion and setting a precedent that we should be paid less than other domestic narrow body pilots? Or that we’re abandoning the long held ALPA notion that pilots should be paid at least partly based on the seating capacity of the airplanes they fly?

Yes, numbers and math are absolute, but formulating the actual equation is very much a subjective undertaking.

This is possibly my biggest concern with a yes vote. Having over 25 years left in my career this is probably the most costly aspect of a yes vote for me.

Yes exactly. The numbers he inputs are correct yet misleading because so many other factors are not present. We’re missing out on a lot. Maybe I was a bit harsh by saying I didn’t respect him. That’s not true and I do appreciate the time he took to come up with the calculator but I don’t need a sales pitch thrown in my face. I don’t need somebody to tell me what angle to look st the numbers so they appear industry standard because they’re not. I’m a solid no unless there’s some magical golden eggs some where in the TA. Either way, unfortunately this will pass. I’ve come to terms with it and will enjoy the new paychecks even though they will be significantly lower than our peers and BK’s calculations.

Dude, you're like a Flat Earther! A guy, who isn't part of the union anymore, put out math calculator, to show basic facts...

In his video he ONLY and simply showed what a delayed TA would cost him (11 years till retirement), a newly minted young jr CA, and our newest, most jr new hire if a contract was delayed. In his calculator you could make all your own assumptions on timeframe and gain from TA#2. Basic math and "facts". He also posted some colorful charts that show other "facts".

Now those "facts" are a "sales campaign" to "sway yes voters"; taking away from your ability to sway no voters (with hysteria)...

You are starting to get hysterical and discredit yourself...turn off the ipad, have a beer, and get laid.
