I apologize if that offends, but your statement really ticks me off. And my response is completely outside my personal opinions of profit sharing and how I view it as a negotiating tool.




Just like we can't bid the Bus to stay in our bases because we don't fly those planes. I've not met one pilot who is chomping at the bit to get into DEN or ORD. BTW, what makes ORD really any better than EWR? DEN I could see. Are you really that naive to think that management wasn't going to terminate the base/domicile protections? Most anyone could see that coming when this thing was signed.



Nope, not taking away any of the profit sharing that you earned and negotiated. I know it is hard to comprehend but our side of the operation is making profits, too. You are getting access to our bases as well. Since we can't bid each others equipment it means all of our lives get upended.

I thought it was the younger generation with the me, me, me mentality, but I guess we have to look in the mirror to see where they get it from.

You are playing management's game brilliantly, keeping the focus off US vs THEM. I understand your anger and respect your opinion, but it is misdirected IMHO.
