Possible XJT JCBA by Sun, July 21st 2013?!?

Seems overly optimistic, but that's what the email says.

I really hope they didn't make that statement unless there was a very high probability of them following through. I think I'd rather have them under promise and over deliver.

Doesn't sound good, hope the MEC doesn't send us a concessionary contract to vote on, cause I'll be a NO voter, won't you join me?

Eagles action sent ripples of fear through our mec scaring them into hasty action. God forbid they may actually be out of a job in 22 months due to the wind down. Let the mormons fly for this sh!t show.

On the one hand you have article after article heralding the imminent pilot shortage and the lack of qualified candidates for the regional airlines, and then you have management trying to cut pay and benefits at every regional. It's almost like "let's see if we can make this career even less appealing". If its concessionary, I'll vote to send it back until this place closes down. You can count on that 1 vote.

The ASA/XJT negotiating patch was set well before the second concessionary ask at EGL and before yesterday's EGL MEC vote.

I'm just gonna vote No to anything. Doesn't matter what they put out, won't even read it... Just a No vote since I'm sure no matter what it says it will be full of loop holes and verbiage that doesn't actually say what it intends nor corrects the laundry list of issues I have with the current contract. That is how little confidence I have in this.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Chances are it will be as you described, but why wouldn't you want to know its flaws?

 

[HoserASA]

Remember, if we vote a TA down, we're still under our current contract, which possibly would be better than the TA the MEC brings us. And you're taking two pilot groups contracts. What happens then could get interesting.

No matter when it comes or what it is, I'm voting no.

 

[SpaceShipEarth]

After more thought, I decided I am not voting no. Instead, I am voting "kiss my ass"

 

[COOPERVANE]

shut the doors for all I care. I have a years worth of pay saved up.

I said it and meant it in '07 and I'll say it and mean it now as well....

IF YOU CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY ME A LIVABLE WAGE FOR THE SERVICES I PROVIDE....THEN THIS COMPANY SHOULD CLOSE THE ********************ING DOORS.....

 

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

IMO, to say you'll vote no regardless is dumb. But, it's your vote. We've been fed the notion that asa guys vote yes all day every day. I guess time will tell. I'll read it (not just compensation) then vote. I hope y'all do also.

Only concession I'll consider is a 15 year cap for captains.

 

[SoberIrishman]

Don't be daft! I want at least 20 years on the scale. I'm nearly there. Got to have some cost of living increase somewhere.

Doesn't the cost of living in Bristol, Tennessee go down every year?

 

[SoberIrishman]

Not in the Irish quarter. We have to import our food and beverage.

You don't need $120 k for potatos and peet whiskey.

 

[ASApuppy]

I'm voting no unless it comes with the resignation of most management at XJT.

But all these guys will be at Delta in 18 months. Why need a 20-year scale?

I'm with ya...a 20 year would be nice for us lifers, if in fact, we are exactly those.
