how can this be with the A-Team?

This was merely a error of semantics, right? "Only" 20% is still a huge amount of money, no matter how you slice it.

right. 20,30,40,50- still a huge amount. Depends on who's reputed facts you believe.

Of course it is a lot of money, which I've stated a few times. That is kind of my point. Why would someone need to exaggerate their paycut to such a degree when the real paycut is so substantial?

And Jenny, you've yet to offer any facts other than listing types of pay and a reference to comparing paychecks with no support of what that comparison showed. Also, 50% is a lot different than 20% or 30%. They're both big, but one happens to be about twice as big as the other.

😱 Not sure about the f/a's but I know what was on the table for AMFA was around 40% all inclusive. Not 40% cash but 40% of the total package. And maybe that is the point she is trying to make. 20% in actual pay 20% in benefits. And that is not something you can make up working extra hours. No pension, more for medical, dental. It will become a revolving door that soon only the lowest will pass thru. This is a company headed no where in a hurry. They may look good on paper but if the flying public ever gets a choice out of msp or dtw this airline is toast.

Gee whiz. Why are we beating the dead horse? I'm over it already. I can't believe you were even involved in this agreement. All you are still doing is persuading what we presume as "facts" in your favor.
You haven't been able to validate your "source" and we just have to take your word for it.
Go get a new hobby.... like go to law school or something. Depending on your senority & years in service (plus the other things like shortcrew, perdiem, ect) I keep on saying the paycut is staggerd. You keep on going off about the "average". 😉 Ah, it was fun. Time to move on.

Ah, Jimmy. Bingo. Perhaps I didn't mention it was INCLUSIVE (like paycut, per diem, short crew, DH, ect.)
One gal at the AFA meeting few months ago said she thinks it was a 55% paycut! Staggered and inclusive paycut.
