The folks in Tempe have a clue, what they do not have or at least to date have not demonstrated, is the desire to end all this BS and put the hammer down. I think it is because they have benefited at our expense, and more greatly the east's expense. If (not when) you get pay restoration, the chance of a single list is not over, however the east as a seperate entity will be over. Tempe will violate the intent of the TA faster than you can say West minimum block hours. There are so many loopholes in the TA and the east contract that you could pretty much count on your great attrition not covering the loss of fleet in the east. But hey, after we recall our West furloughs, we will give you folks jobs at the bottom of our list, as per the TA, and when you see your Nic position as greater than the stapler, we will get a joint contract, and you will learn to like PBS.
As to reading Donn's documents, I have read them, and I have also read the original document. From an outsiders point of view, the best you could hope for from the language is a restoration of the annual 3% raise, but that 3% would be applied to your current payscale. Most likely you will not even get the 3% back. But good luck with all this, hope you get it.
