Another scare tactic to get pilots to accept their fate (by falsely characterizing the NMB's behavior) and agree to a career of inflation raises because of the "time value of money". This excuse is available for every contract forever. Guess we should always take the small pay bump now rather than getting parked by the NMB for XX years, right slowplay...I mean sailingfun?

Do you not agree that ALPA has done a great job educating pilots on the dangers of cabotage and the export/import bank? ALPA can do it...when they want to. So why haven't they done that regarding scope and pay increases to get us to our top competitors? Why?
ALPA is our bargaining agent. Therefore ALPA
is responsible...despite your efforts to deflect any blame for them even before we see the TA. Some things never change.
