Just trying to latch on to a simple idea. Sure it's not as big of a % increase for Carl though, it takes his rates from $217 to $276 but mine jumps from $94 to $153.
I say Carl, if he were here, I guess I'm buying.
The thing now about voting yes when you should've voted no and never fessing up to it, with our scope language issues we could easily be voting for furloughs when you vote yes.
This is a huge point man. Last time, there were a lot of naive younger pilots who voted for the scope sales - but were confident because of the no-furlough clause. Everyone knows what absolute BS they are now. Last time, a minority of senior pilots voted for scope sales because they feared losing the company. A minority of mid seniority pilots voted for scope sales for probably the same reason. And a minority of junior pilots voted for scope sales confident in the no furlough clause. Now nobody believes we'll lose the company without scope sales...actually, just the opposite. And junior pilots know that no furlough clauses are worthless.
The company and ALPA have a huge hill to climb this time in convincing any portion of our seniority list that a scope sale is necessary.
