Look- an 8% raise still us below industry average. I won't be satisfied with that as a final number. But 8% helps me and my family until we get a much better number in the CBA.

If that is their play, I'll vote with my feet and go to Delta. They need us more than we need them.

I don't think ALPA could block this, same reason as our positive checkin. Giving us 8% now taking it out of our profit-sharing next year. It won't change the negotiations. We're not gonna get a contract for two+ years anyways, so why not take it.

I agree that many of us have that option to 'vote with my feet.' Many of us do not have that option. . .if you are over 45 are in the top 50%, you are not leaving for another carrier. This is it. . .I agree that any pay raise immediately would be tough to pass up but what does that mean to a negotiated pay raise in a CBA? I don't know the answer but I do know that if you are in the last 15 years of your career, this initial CBA is everything.
