Come to think of it, didn't CAL join STAR in 2008? And that didn't affect anything either? Uh... sure.
Boxer:
What I'm absolutely
not saying is anything that remotely resembles an sli arbitration. That ship has sailed. I'm simply pointing out that if one of those proposals is adopted, I take an $80k paycut and loose a lot of my bidding power and job security. If the other is adopted, life pretty much continues as is. Sorry, but I don't like one of those scenarios.
What I KNOW is that not you, I, or any other Pilot on this board authored one word in either proposal. And that the sooner we accept that and start working together, the sooner we can hold smisek accountable for how he is mishandling OUR collective futures. I assure you that the arbitrators are not combing APC for advice on how they handle this. As someone who has lived through the USAirways SLI, trust me, this thing will get FAR worse if we allow it to.
Please read tpa Exibit A; it's brutally honest about aircraft deliveries.
