Hey Carl - question: How does the discussion about our next contract go with the big airplane people you fly with and have breakfast with in Narita? I think the (relative) new-hires and smaller airplanes are pretty well represented here on APC, but I don't know of any other 330 and 744 Captain on here.
Are they thinking about Scope (big airplane or RJ scope), pay rates, work rules, hotter flight attendants, or retirement? What's important to you guys?
