we did't leave the pfe's or probatiorary member's behind,we got a 10.5% raise , a 5% contribution on the 401k,and a 4% payout next year. no change to work rules. all airplanes back.
perfect? no.
could we have gotten more? maybe
better than cato's false initial 10.5% with strings attached? yes
better than cato's last offer on the 16?yes
better than cato's offer on the 30? yes
we have learned a lot and we will not do to you as you did to us. you will not find one single polar pilot crossing your atlas lines if and when it comes to that.
good luck on you next contract negotiations.
