I'm SO over the airplane I fly, the Airbus isn't even a real airplane - it's a computer with Monitors (still called Pilots for some reason). Give me days off and pay and I'll happily fly any 2 engine, turbine powered airplane - I'm afraid I've used up my single and multi-engine piston luck. I actually liked the King Air, Citation, G-100 and hard-ball 737-200's best. I'd LOVE to fly a 747 for awhile but the TAFB is a major detractor.
The 190 rates are a function of IBT's negotiating and arbitration prowess as are the 4 open section 6 items currently in mediation. It amazes me that you're allowing the same guy that got you your current contract to Chair your current Negotiating Committee.
As far as supporting your strike vote, what would you want us to do in a perfect world? I'm serious, what could the Frontier pilots do that would make you happy?
