Only 350? I must be slacking off. Post #1: "If this contract doesn't break the mold on the upside, then we may as well pack it in..."
Mountains of Cash. That's the thread. If I've posted it 350 times that's because that's how many times I've seen that there's cash for a great contract, regardless of how many times the company tries to say there isn't. Look for 350 more posts saying precisely the same same thing until we get a fair contract.
They're making mountains of cash yet JS says "you'll never go back to wages you made in 2000"---a poorly veiled and cynical use of 9/11 to keep the boot on our necks. Executive comp has gone up 40% or more in this time period.
Believe it or not, there are still a lot of line pilots who think we make too much money and that asking for a restoration of our pay/benefits would break the company. There's cash for a great contract--mountains of it.
