Perfectly said. You don’t come to the table months before the amendable date with an offer like this, just to drag things out later if it’s voted down. Significant leverage is what we have. Everyone can throw their experiences of past negotiations out the window, the ball is in our court.

I haven't been in here in a while. Is anybody talking about the company being able to raise 1st year pay on their own?

Both of my regional reps have said that this ta is non-consessionary. Bull ****. Look how well that clause is going for frontier.

I'm a no until that is gone.

Reps basically said that the company insisted on both the weighted payscale favoring DOS+1 because they are losing money and insultingly low training pay. Not exactly items that suggest the company is going to be desperate to come right back to the table to substantially increase compensation if this is voted down

Well we are losing money, but because of them, not in spite of them. They are losers, plain and simple.

Honestly if I were at the table and they played that “we are too broke to pay DOS, I would ask why we are the only airline not making money and perhaps the problem is at that end of the negotiating table.

Yeah, but we also need them to agree to a deal with us to get what we want, regardless of the fact that it’s their fault

Coming to the table with an offer like this months prior to the amendable date is unheard of. The the only reason they came to the table was out of desperation. It’s not like they are just trying to be kind by offering us a raise and if we don’t take it then that’s it. I just have such a hard time wrapping my head around statements like this one. What exactly brought them to the table again?

I think this would easily pass with: $10-15/hr more. 16% DC now, 17% in 2024. $13 night override immediately. Snap up clause in the event the merger gets shot down.

For those No Voters that are concerned that the pay is too low with this new TA:

if it passes, then the next time you fly just have a pilot tip jar. Mid flight, pass it back down the rows, Sunday church style.

I think the intent of this TA is to bring us to JetBlue or a little bit better than JetBlue rates, Until the Jetblue/ Spirit pilot integration is complete.
How long can the company legally stall negotiations? Because that's exactly what they will do once you let them increase first year pay on their own. All leverage... Gone

As long as they want, but at least we would be entitled to seek retro pay since the contract would be immediately amendable in such a circumstance (a mediator would likely side with us on that). Right now if we turn it down, we’re looking at a minimum of a few months of lost wage increases with an approximately 0% chance of any form of retro to make up for it.

This multiple bites of the apple **** is complete propaganda. The leverage is now. Get it now!
