They should have added Unicorns as a demand… would have had more respect.

That would added a page 41, they wanted to be sure no one lost interest so they kept it to forty pages.

I also don't fear going back to the table and don't think we should (if that's the case) as that's a losing strategy in general. The pilot group (broad brush paint stroke) at every TA I've been through gets this fear of saying no...every time. Probably a combination of things but it's there. It's negotiation. Of course one needs to weigh all things including the time/value of money. The voters who don't read the TA, or any of the supporting material/shows/vids bother me more than someone who votes no for one item they feel strongly about. The forum is great to ferret out details and possible flaws. Not so great to read posts that simply try to bash others for having differing opinions.
The same can be said of "one issue yes voters" like the guys who see dollar signs over the retro.

I don't think it's a very good TA, less than Delta's, but might have voted yes if it wasn't for the forced upgrades. That's a single BS issue that I can't agree to.

Just as a point of order…. They were never approved

This stuff takes like 5 seconds to Google, is it really that hard to not just blatantly lie?

Yes sir. I was speaking of approved by the FAA which is so laughable. You cannot even take a Zyrtec and fly but all you need is 2 days after your clot shot and you are good to go. Pfizer/Biontech was finally granted approval here in the USA but you cannot get it. You are still receiving The EUA version which works great for them because you sign your life away upon injection. The question is, will the UAL pilot group stand up and say "no more shots"? Let's hope so.

About two more years until we're all dead from getting the vaccine in 2021 anyways. I say we take the money and run.

Right, right?

Haha! Okay, that’s an artful redirect.

You need to read something since 2021. You couldn’t get the original ones if you wanted to as they are no longer available in the US. It’s good to see how contract negotiations really polish that tin, though.
