Asa Ta No Way

Not sure how that is possible, (not saying it isn't true). My last 3 day the rigs would have paid 3.4, and my last 4 day would have paid 4.5 extra! That is 7.9 extra pay in two trips! With rigs and pay raise, my pay would be $960 greater this month under the new rules.

I wouldn't bank on getting this money under the new TA. My guess is that the trips will be modified to make the rigs worthless as far as extra money goes. The whole intent of the rigs was to force the company to make more efficient trips. At least we should have more time off on the overnights or maybe some extra days off. We'll have to wait and see how their software handles the rigs.

kool-aid is out. Talked to a new hire dead set he's gonna clear 30K first year and credit 120 hrs cause of the "sweet rigs of the new contract". At least he took some advice and moved to ATL instead of commuting. He did say his parents are "gonna help him out a little on the first year pay". I told him I'd see him later (I had to walk away).

This is wrong logic pal! You are the one who likes to criticize National ALPA for not acting in the best interest of the pilots. ASA pilots, alone, have the control in this situation to determine the quality of the ASA working agreement. That should make you happy! At this point, we need to fight to fix this contract!

Once again, you have misread my points..... ALPA national, mainline MEC's, apathetic regional pilots, and an extremely competitive environment, have all come together in a perfect storm.... This agreement is as good as it gets..... If you vote it down, it will be close to a year before you get another one to vote on, and it will be very similar to this one....

This isn't 1998, and ALPA has lost much of it's leverage due to the competition within a brand.... There are things I don't like about this agreement, but it is time to move and and fix the real reason we continue to fall behind..... This agreement isn't the problem.....

Lets see a 3 year contract or wait at least another year or two for something different but not all that different???

There are ways to keep a little extra money from the bonus.

Sounds like ASA sucks!
