Quote from above: "That is excellent, Timbo! Just a couple of things I would suggest correcting and adding.
1) Under "concessions since 2004", we took two pay cuts, not one. The first one (prior to BK) was 32.5%. The second one (during BK) was 14%. Cumulative effect of a 42% pay cut. So that should read 42%, not 32.5%.
2) To restore our C2K rates with COLA requires a 70% increase. Might want to add that for additional SA."
My reply:
Yeah, I know that, I was here, but we have been getting pay raises every year since 2004. The 32.5% number is to get from TODAY's pay rates, back to 2004 rates.
Also, I clipped that from the DALPA board, I'm not smart enough to do the math, but I thought it was a pretty good, short, synopsis of what it's going to take to get back to where we were. So, keep those numbers in mind when you fill out the survey.
Now, get back to watching Pan Am, so you can see what our Flight Attendants should look like too! I think some of the ones in the show (set in 1962?) are still flying for us...
And where's the Pink Underboob? I say we need at least one good shot every day for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Jeez, I think the Jets offensive line is on estrogen...they are playing like a bunch of little girls, might just as well watch Pan Am!

Reason: clarity...if there is such a thing on the intertubes.
