I understand, you don't give a damn about 1700 families. I get that. Golden rule and all. You probably wouldn't fit into the Airtran culture where we take care of one another.
One Seat:
You're trying to be cute but the truth is none of you know/knew what our MEC was even voting on, did you? You probably only saw SL9. Did Steve even bother to publish the other pile of agreements that became "AIP"?
Look at #2 above. Yes, it was part of the agreement/financial package. I'd send you a copy but it no longer matters. I'll live with whatever seniority allows me to hold and keep my crappy $160 per hour. I'll survive.
#5 was in the agreement/financial package.
And why do you keep referring to the "ALPA negotiators"? There is no such group. The 4 line pilots we sent were duped into thinking they were dealing with honorable SW pilots. Couldn't have been more mistaken.
BTW, those MEC reps who voted 7-1 against this abortion? They've had their pay cut by management, as of last Thursday. Golden rule and all.
