When I introduce an FO I have never been in the plane with, I will use the same introduction-someone I fly with. Flying with= working with to me. I also sit right seat alot. And Left. Go put that in your crystal ball. Not that I need to defend myself from your cheesy accusations as to whether I'm an FO or CA. Get over your yourself and stop the FO stalkercrush fantasy on me already dude. Always gotta think you got the last word in and you're better than the rest of us, eh?
Ok, fair enough. But it's still much easier for you to hide anonymously behind a screenname. You have more to lose when you are named.
This proves you have no idea what the "bonus" check was supposed to be. it was SOLELY supposed to be for the loss of the 2% wage increase over the 5 years we had no contract. Had nothing to do with senior guys shafting jr guys. Obviously, 2% raise of $80 an hour will be greater than 2% raise of $25 an hour. I thought that was the most fair, even though the new method got me 4K more. Why do you think that someone who came waltzing in in the middle of negotiations deserves as much as someone who has lost out since he beginning?
Loss of what 2% wage increase over 5 years? And how is W2 wage method for fair? It specifically helps those who are senior, and those who go out of their way to pick stuff up, guys bought off for leave and then pick up on another day off, and guys who consistently credit the most hours. Do you need to be reminded how the yes versus no vote went on this issue? All FO reps voted no, all CA reps voted yes. Except the one FO rep who was Captain already, guess how that vote went. And for the record, I was for the time-since-amendalbe-date method. One of the proposals was 50% W2 method and 50% time since amendable date. Even that would have been better. But all that was voted down.
