I just find it hard to believe that the company capitulated when two weeks ago we were apparently miles and millions apart. What has changed since then? Is it possible that the NMB needs to see a hard no vote on a TA that the company claims to be similar to the DAL TA before they consider a release? Fortunately, or unfortunately, it is new territory for some of us. I hope my suspicions are wrong.

Since there is an AIP/TA, there was likely trading and compromise to get to an agreement.

Without giving any credence to idle speculation on a bulletin board largely populated by gum-flapping, blog-obsessed genX pilots, you do not know if the "company capitulated." All NMB supervised "quid pro quo" negotiations are about trading and compromise.

I bet you don't like being tossed in that category

The Delta contract let Delta Connection have an additional 70 76-seat aircraft, work everybody more, pay the pilots an additional 10-11 percent at amendable date (4 percent 6 months early, 8.5 percent at amendable date minus about 2.5 percent for loss of profit sharing), and then 3 percent raises each year for COLA. I thought there was no way in hell it would pass. It passed easily. My point is that is you are offered a TA with any type of raise at all, it will probably pass. Expect a heavy sales job by United and ALPA.
