Its interesting how the union is rushing this thing through. No executive summary, no signing bonus details, LOA's not complete. Wonder why OCT 1 is such a big deal?
Doesn't really matter I guess. Ya'll know how I voted...
Phil T. is all about industry average, then give a us a FREAKIN industry average contract. This TA is no where NEAR industry average. What a joke.

Thats another thing I noticed about the meeting. There is a big push to get this contract effective by Oct. 1st. We are starting an FA new hire class and rumors are spreading about guys getting pilot interviews. Something is up. I just wonder if we are actually going to be able to see the final ta before we vote.
Take that emotion out and simply vote on the language of the TA. If that, AND THAT ALONE, is agreeable to you, vote yes. If not, vote no.
There is only ONE thing that is certain to happen to the PNCL pilots at this point and that is the ability to vote for or against this TA. Ignore the "Phantom" carrot.
I personally think it's unfathomable that you could have to vote without seeing the entire TA. I'm not even sure how anyone could come to a resonable conclusion without all the facts.

1. Below average pay
2. Way below average retirement
3. Below average days off
4. Below average duration with no COLA after the amendable date - (fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on ME!) Guess we will don't learn from our mistakes.
Wilson polling was worthless if you ask me. The questions they asked were horrible. IE (what percentage of pay increase do you want? How about I give you a number amount not a percentage.) I'm glad to see retirement (according to wilson polling) is last on everyones list. Guess I'm not part of the 'fly til you die' generation.
OCT 1 might have something to do with those 30 900's at Mirabel with PQ tails?

The only reason retirement showed up at the low end is because it was paired up against health insurance instead of being separate. It's hard to have your COST double cause it costs you money out of your pocket, it's easy to rationalize a lower match because its all "free money", just less of it.
