Take it easy. I can see why you would vote for this, I would too if I were in JAX. But the NC fell far short of everything they said they were locked and loaded on. Pretty much looked like they just packed it in. The scope was a wash. It only goes to the joint talks, it exchanges 8 small stations in return for 12 mid stations that now will open up their work to TWU, and restricts insourcing of two stations. I'd say that Ole AH came out ahead on that headcount.
Nothing else was addressed as stated other than they got topped out folks a wage increase and a very fair pay parity. Retirement blows, and the health care bomb is clear and future. You guys keep saying not to pay attention to it and how it won't affect anything but they certainly didn't convince Ole AH that it wouldn't matter. Not even a cap negotiated. I'm not arguing with you, and there is no reason for you to take personal shots, this contract will be voted in. But JN is right and is 'spot on'. One doesn't have to be the watchmaker to be able to tell time. The witness to the NC work is the TA. Like I said, I couldn't imagine anyone in JAX voting No. But ORD and 11 other stations that had scope are now open to other unions doing our work. That's far different than JAX.
