Parker must love you guys.

You all have got to get your act together and stop killing one another. The Man doesn't have to hold you down. You're doing it yourself.


From an uninvolved outsider a few ideas:

Put up some fences. Accept Nicolau's seniority list if an east guy moves to a west domicile. Accept date of hire if a westie moves to an east base. If US opens a new domicile east of the Mississippi, use DOH, west of the river, Nicolau. If there are Furloughs they go by domicile, not system seniority.

Fair pay. Its always about the money. There shouldn't be a giant discrepancy in pay from right to left seat. Both pilots are doing the same job. If one screws up, the other is going to pay the price too. So pay FO's 90% of CA pay. Then you won't care so much which seat you're in, and a demotion won't bankrupt anyone.


Forgive and Forget. Jesuschristo! Nobody is the bad guy here. Every one is just trying to look after their own best interests, right? Find your common ground - there's lots of it. Get a contract. Get a no furlough clause. Get your scope back. Demand your pensions be re-funded. Demand nobody in management gets a raise or bonus while anyone is furloughed or you're under a concessionary contract. Demand pro-rata raises and bonuses every time anyone in management gets one.


Best of luck. You certainly need it.
