M - Money: When a Southwest 737 taxi's by, can we honestly say we make enough money?

S - Scope: Do we have tight and enforced scope language? (See next two below)

A - Alaska Airlines: Why are they expanding 5-6% (while we are shrinking)?

F - Frontier Airlines: Why are they touting themselves as the fastest growing major airline (while we are shrinking)?

E (R) - Enriched Retirement: What can we do to get a better retirement plan? Because, like Scambo said, "Without a pension, an airline job is just a job. Pension being the differentiator for me between a career and a job."

Very good New. I'd like to laugh , but it kind of hurts.

Frontier, don't they fly our EMB-175s?

The only thing I can say about a pension, whats to stop it from being cancelled some other day? I'd rather have the money in my hands to screw up then to be eliminated. Cuts to military pensions are being discussed again and that's from an employer who can print money... and does.
