Which for the average FA is what? Six grand maybe? Percentage is irrelevant. Mom, he got 51% of the bologna sandwich. It's still a bologna sandwich. A 17.5% raise for other work groups has no relevance for pilots. At pilot money the 8% is a boost for first and especially second year guys. Wide disparity between the "20% of the way to a million" left seaters and the guys/gals we're purportedly trying to retain. That's a barrier to unification. I say take the $.

I don't give a **** about an FA RAISE... WHAT ��. Who cares what they get really? 17% what's that like $5. Man awesome ���� they get another 20-40/day. So they will get a fraction of one seats worth of one flights revenue more... yea don't care. Focus

Such BS. We're not under the DR anymore. They don't get to just shove stuff down our throat. They know what the cost of pilots is now. They see what United, Delta, SW are getting and realize they'll be paying the same soon.

I trust that our NC, and MEC/LEC will not let up on the gas one iota and will deliver us a leading CBA as soon as they possibly can. If there are delays, I suspect and expect that they/we will use all mechanisms available to put pressure on the company to finalize a deal.

Stop acting like a battered wife and grow a pair.
Yea - the fighting falcon tells someone to grow a pair. Grow up son.

For the record, first AND second year pilot pay at JB is also a bologna sandwich. It's total $hit pay and majorly lags our peers. A first year guy will net a little over $200 a month more. Woopdiedoo. And a second year guy will lag Delta by 29% after the raise. Why aren't people livid?

Because this isn't a vote on the contract!! I'd be livid if that was the case. I understand both sides, but when our MEC says to go for it, I'm gonna listen. That's all. I trust they'll do right for our CBA.

Bunker- why do you insult? Are you that intimidated by dissenting views? I am comfortable with disagreement of my pov- Its too bad that you're incapable of having an open mind. Good luck with that.

I have a very open mind. I listen to people who have reasonable arguments that don't intend to flame.

Your positions are ridiculous..to the point I think you post them just to get a rise out of people......many of your responses to people who call you out (besides me) just reinforced my belief.
