Why don't you just work for free then? They can rename the airline Not-for-Profit-Airways!!!
Pilot pay is just a drop in the bucket. Delta is just trying to scare you into a pay cut. And look, it just might work! Even after all those years of negotiating a higher pay rate, you'll just give it up like a wimp on the playground when the bully says give him your lunch money. You just coward down and hand it right over.
How low can you go? Ah hell, just cry Uncle and rename the circus "Not-For-Profit-Airways."
This does not answer my previous question I posed to you so here they are again.
1) Pinchanickled, if you were making $75K to $120k per year, would you be so eager to give that up for the sake of the industry and the good of other pilots? Just curious, an honest yes or no answer please with an explanation if you dont mind. Thanks
2) Also, in all sincerity, could you explain how it will benefit the industry when our airplanes go to a carrier that will fly them for less than we can, even with our concessionary TA?
Your asking us to save your paycheck. You make the arguement that this involves all of us. What are you doing to save mine?
This TA puts us squarely in the middle the pack with respect to the cost of a regional airline. Mesa and GoJets and a few other are significantly cheaper than us. Doesnt that count for something to you?
This deal sucks for all of us. I will be furloughed so I wont be around long enough to benefit from (if you can call it a benefit) from this TA. It still makes more sense to me than unemployment and food stamps.
You guys still crack me up
