A direct competitor in our fortress hub not in our peer group? Even when AT had lower wages, we competed well against them.

I agree with deadhead to a point about not discussing this stuff on a public board...Not to keep mgmt from getting any ideas, because flt ops mgmt is us - pilots - they know our mindset, but more to limit the expectations management.

When I was a newbie and had zero understanding of unions, I had to be told how to think like a union member. One of the things I was told was that going on strike was the same thing as saying "this job is so bad I am willing to walk away from it and not look back." I think that is still true, but at that time it was a career. Now it is a job and walking away only carries a loss of accrued seniority.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the job and my fellow pilots. I am not a paycheck to paycheck guy, I can walk away from this and frankly continue my current lifestyle on a $45-50K/year annual budget. If we are looking at a 15-50% ****ant payraise or anything that doesnt tighten scope across the board, I'd go for the strike vote right out of the chute. No brainer.

Hey, where's Pineapple guy?
