Well... What do you guys think?!?

While it may not be a "dream" contract I think it's pretty good. I think the big "problems" at each carrier have been fixed with this TA.

I think it's great. Payrates are better than I thought. (higher than ASA!)

 

[OCP]

75% DH pay..???? Why?

75% DH pay..???? Why?

Cheaper than opening a base

Cheaper than opening a base

...I think he meant why not 100% DH pay...

Also, don't think for one second that this is done somehow because of Mesaba. The company had a legitimate business need for a contract. Nothing more.

Clive Seal and Buddy Casey told me of that rather "urgent" business need in August of 2006. At that time you were sitting in the classroom next door, so I'm assuming they told you the same thing.

I suppose in the airline industry four years is urgent enough.
