What am I striking for?

Bottom Line: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Why would we take a pay cut in exchange for empty pie-in-the-sky promises of a chicken in every pot and upgrades for everyone? If it isn't written in the contract, don't consider it when you vote.

Yes to the strike ballot.

Ironically, even if it is written into the contract, it might not be worth much. See Comair.

Comair is in Chapter 11. Contracts can legally be voided. Apples to Oranges.

Yes they can, but it hasn't been. And they still haven't seen any growth.

That isn't accurate atr, most of the underblock pay would be replaced by managements proposal of block or better. In other words if you came in early you would get credit up to block. For most of us it would be the same. People under guarantee (reserve, naps) would be the only ones who lose money.

The DH pay is current book 100%. Go look at MyContract - you have to look at the Feb. package proposal, but it accepts 100%DH, raises sick time accrue, and raises per diem.

The total package would be a payraise for me as a line holder on the 50.

This information should be in all of our hands before we vote. Is that too much to ask?

You are not totally right either. Underblock and or block or better is not the key. The key is management's wanting to get rid of LEG BY LEG basis. This makes all the diference.
