get your NO vote in today. Turn this down, recall the LECs start fresh. The stupidity is at an all time high in this “association”. It’s apparent they don’t have the line pilots best interest in mind.

Don't want to post the entire thing, but a highlight that may be germane to the argument is..
"Generous as the offer may seem, the pay increase isn’t all that much higher than the consumer-price index, which last month increased 8.6% over the last year. After inflation, the 14.5% raise amounts to about a 1.6% increase over 18 months. For pilots who live in Sun Belt areas where inflation is running hotter than 10%, such as Phoenix, it’s a decline in real wages if inflation stays this hot through the next year."

Well they also haven't added that it's only a 2 year deal that took 4 years to negotiate and we most likely won't have another deal till 2028, and that 5% of the raise was already paid for. So in reality it's about a 1% - 1.5% per year raise with inflation a big unknown, not to mention QOL givebacks...
