I can understand that.

Interesting, nothing in my inbox or on the ALPA website.

The Union sent out an email about an hour and half ago. It looks like they added more negotiation dates to the end of this month. Originally it was suppose to be June 27th and 28th. Now in the Union email it says June 26th to June 30th.

Who cares when or if Bendo sends out an email, you're wasting your time if you indulge in that drivel.

And actually the email was from Bob and not Bendo. I have not seen an email from Bendo, or a podcast from him in the last 3 weeks.

What are you, new?

Haha no. I just don't like when people give blanket statements. Such as: "I'm a no vote if transition is gone" or "full retro or bust".

I just like to play devils advocate by challenging you to take a more methodical approach. For example: Review Hawaiian retro pay then figure out how much you would've gotten using that formula based on your longevity at spirit. Then when the company offers money in the form of retro or a signing bonus, you can compare your calculation. Then make a decision. I'd rather have a $50k high-five signing bonus vs. a $45k retro check. But yes, retro pay is typically going to be higher than a signing bonus.

All speculative..... Let's not post what we will/won't vote for. We KNOW management reads these forums, so let's not give them any potential ammunition against our NC please.
