Hardly ignorant of how the system works. I also know that pilots are woefully underpaid especially on the retirement side. Nobody wants to fly anymore than nessasary and it's the retirement that keeps everyone sticking around. More to life than flying airplanes.

Your attitude of we have to give something to get something is exactly the wrong attitude to have. We should get back what we already had without any concessions

Saying what I’m attaching this sentiment to is insinuating that I know what’s in the agreement. I do not. I do have a guess but to discuss that would be useless unless it comes to fruition.

I have noticed a trend in some who think we could harm the company with large contractual gains across many sections. I find that notion akin to leaving cash on the table. It’s up to the company to determine their own level of acceptance. We should not be in the business of determining what’s acceptable for the company.

Yes, the side argument in the Furlough LOA of helping the company in order to gain market share concerned the hell out of me. I think that mindset is still pervasive and could be employed again.

It's a two year agreement. Not sure about the LCA s but the rest are a return to normal scales in August of 24. +6% for FOs and 10% for CAs

There we have it in a nutshell. Why should a 30 yo new hire facing a $10M + career and lucrative 401K contributions ever support a supplemental retirement vehicle? To honestly answer that question requires a certain level of historical acceptance.

I agree 100%

The threat of instant grounding should be incentive enough.

When you sat at the negotiating table what tactics did you use to accomplish your goals?

There will still be a shortage in 2 years. I'm not sure how well it will go over to give everyone a 50% payout in 2 years. I'm guessing they will extend those rates.

what career are you comparing to for retirement? My financial advisors eyes almost popped out of his head when I told him what our DC is, and he works with some very high net worth individuals
