Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As you all know by now, your rank-and-file committee has accepted the Agreement in Principle which now turns the AIP into a Tentative Agreement (TA) and is ready for ratification by the membership.
Now it is to you to make a choice. The TA is economically focused and includes a couple of minor, economically speaking, language changes. We urge you to look at all the information and consider the outcome carefully prior to deciding. As with every negotiation, this proposal will satisfy the expectations of some, while falling short for others. Ultimately, the decision is yours whether to ratify this offer or not, and we will stand by your choice.
Below are some highlights of the extension offer:
--The extension is one that matches Southwest Airlines top of scale (TOS) this year and will extend for a term of forty-eight (48) months. The package is valued at one billion dollars in improvements over its life.
--During this year the extension provides a 4% percent increase in August, and a 6.87% increase in December, followed by three percent increases each December until 2027. In December of this year a TOS Technician will receive $68.66/hour.
--The Bridge medical will be extended to run through to 2028.
--There is an additional job protection enhancement which adds a permanent Heavy check line of MX that increases from the current two (2), to three (3).
Finally, the reset calculation runs this December and every 12 months thereafter.
Please feel free to ask questions of your rank-and-file committee members, your Business Agents or the Airline Division if you need clarification on any of the terms.
