The aircraft will have 40 more seats similar to the 190 having 50 less seats. Should we buy 319's then their seating capacity should reflect the pay. That's not hypocritical, thats economics.

The trips I bid will not include the 321. I could care less if I ever fly it. The 330 Dave keeps telling you are in the works won't affect me either as I'll never bid the aircraft but none of that matters because I'll still fight for a larger aircraft paying more money. Again, economics.

Your suggestion that we should use that money to fix other issues is, well, naive. Until the blue juicers, like that idiot southerner, vote in a union none of this matters. We'll continue down this path of you and others repeating managements rhetoric as gospel.
Pathetic. Why don't you stop the next Alaska and Southwest pilots you see and tell them their contract is crap because they fly the 700-800-900 for the same pay rate.

As for not having the rest of their contract, THAT is where my priorities are.

If wanting the rest of our contract to look more like SW and AK makes me a management talking point regurgitator, then so be it. I would rather be that than a guy who wants to feather his own senior bed over and above improvements for all.
