Chuck you neglected to include the loss of 3 sick days per year, I would see this as a rather big loss wouldn't you.
I have it on good authority that the PG reps were doing a ring around before, during and after the balot trying to convince voters. They managed to get some people to change their vote, if this was a democratic system 1 vote is all that is allowed.
The TWU were not invited by the PG reps to the negotiations, I ask you why wouldn't you want them there, they do this for a living!
Capt Bloggs i maybe a virgin when it comes to posts on this site but trust me I have been around for a while.

Chimbu, I was under the impression that that was the plan for the B scale guys from the start (the increases to ultimately match the A scale after 5 years.) Did they change that to a straight out B scale?

Time Marches On !!
Hello to my NJS Brothers.
I just got my 3.5% increase from the AWA that I locked in for 5 years. Can you tell me what the CPI increase that you fought so hard for was this year !?

Mr Hat - you miss the point - my colleagues fought hard & vigorously for 'CPI' as the best & most beneficial way in which the riches could be returned to pilots (huh !?)....anyways.......happen to see this old thread again the other day & wondered how the passage of time had treated those views....

Sticks & Stones !
Would your reaction Renurpp be anything to do with the fact that your tunnel visioned, economically naive, emotional negotiation strategy has now cost your captain colleagues over $2500 in cold hard cash in base salary, overtime, allowances & value of leave provisions this year over what they would have got if they had stayed with a GUARANTEED model of salary increase rather than one at the mercy of economic downturns !!??
Me thinks the benefit of hindsight only come to those without foresight !

Oooooh $2500! That's a whole $50/week! You'll be able to eat meat on Fridays Blaster!
Seriously, why are you doing such an ugly thing as gloating over a pitiful amount like $2500, don't you have something better to do? If that is such a big deal to you then you're not getting paid enough full stop.

No worries blaster. I wish you and your collegues the very best. I think you're worth more.
When the economy turns the corner the exodus from companies that aren't providing realistic increases will recommence.

Lets look at facts.
2% flat rate if accepted woul be a base increase of $5,267 over 2 years for a captain.
The CPI rate accepted (4.2% + 2.5%) is a base increase of $8,872 over the same 2 years.
So the NJS pilots have an extra $3,605 over the 2 years based on an

Based on my name sakes comments,
he really is the village idiot, cause the rest of us got 4.2% last year and 2.5% this year. Do the math and see who's infront.
