Just found out that pay raises are only 1% and capped at industry average. To me, this is the biggest failure of the TA, and I would vote NO simply on that basis if I were still at Pinnacle. We will never improve the lives of regional pilots if they can't at least get a COLA raise.
It took you guys 5 years to get to that point so stop pretending like you are the greatest pilot group ever. What were you doing the previous 4 years?Probably better than living with this TA for 5(!) years. Maybe if it was only 2 or something. Even mesa's is only 2.
And if the PCL pilot group would get together on this it wouldn't last 2 years. When ASA decided to fly the safest airplanes in the industy and follow the FOM to the letter, it took 2 weeks to TA our contract. But you can't be the most on time airline and expect mgt to just reward you for your efforts.

What bugs me the most is the near lack of reserve rules. A big part of our pilot group will continue to suffer under scheduling's grip.
Correction to my post.
Currently you cannot "refuse" a JA, you can be unavailable (unlimited times) for a JA less than 72 hours. The new language now allows for an outright refusal.
It was a all or none deal, 3 LOA's as a package. ASAP and FOQA were desired by the union, extension language by the company. The ASAP program has been pulled by the union a few times. Mgmt has stated they would love to see it go away. Raw FOQA data was used to fire a pilot about a year ago.
Basically all of those LOA's could be considered a failure.
