Couldn't agree more Arcs

Unfortunately we've been put in a position where the only way that can happen is for SSA to vote the proposed agreement down (hard!) and push for a better deal alongside EAA.

Several posters in favour have suggested it's a "fair" deal. Primarily this would appear to based on a comparison between the proposed package and the existing one. "There are a couple of little sweeteners in there, so I'm a tiny bit better off; can't expect much more out of the company so let's call it 'fair' and move on."

Take out the array of efficiencies the company has gouged out of the pilot group over the past 3 years (optimiser, load app etc), and you'd have to start believing this company owes you something better. Look at how quickly the company moved on a couple of conditions in order to force this deal through and lock half their pilots down, and you can't possibly think that this is the best deal possible!

We all want better conditions for pilots - it's been the bleat of the whole industry since I've been in it. At some point every single one of us needs to put some skin in the game if we're ever going to get there.
