With your logic there snowcone, how will you feel under our current contract if the music stops tomorrow and you are stuck on the FO scale with no YOS carryover for the 10-15 years spent in the right seat, currently planned fleet reductions causing junior captains to slide back to the right seat ahead of you (especially if the fleet goes to MADUG as rouge repatriates flying/acpa protects jobs at mainline), how about losing on an opportunity to make an extra 50-100k in your pocket before 2025 with the status quo...snowcone wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 1:37 pm Under what conditions will people say enough is enough.
Say this 17 year deal is signed. 3 years from now hiring stops, age 65 is now age 95 and no one moves. Now what?
What if in 3 years Calin comes to Jazz and says sorry, Sky grows unless you take more concessions, times are tight.
This deal could pass, a dictator somewhere in the world does something stupid, and hiring could stop in a few months. Calin gets what he wants, but not Jazz pilot's.
Id say enough is enough for me.. i've been content with the "b-scale" and made it work for me.. i had the option of SR/GGN and passed on the slightly higher starting wage because I saw value in having a real career here at Jazz or a great fallback if the AC plans fall through.. you don't get that else where (and that now includes Westjet). This 17 year contract is all gravy in my eyes. Stability for 17 years, senior guys know their DB pension stays in check, more fins for us, and "preferred partnership" or whatever you want to call it with AC is added protection in the next downturn.. id be afraid if I was as SR right now seeing what is presented to us. The writing is on the wall elsewhere.. If you don't like this deal when it passes go apply at SR and see how well it works out for you... I'll vote yes to DOH for any of you folks then too
