Yeah? So first you said they CAN'T intervene unless invited, & now you're changing your tune.

Nice deflection BTW. You can't defend the dysfunction, so you try to change the subject. If IBT is so much better, why haven't they worked out a national contract?

They are. They have been building on it bringing carriers up as the contracts come up and going to common langauge and rates. Not there yet...but working on it. More than ALPA. How many concessions has ALPA given into? How ya doing with the regionals? Oh yeah, they're substandard citizens to you.

A 12 yr 767-300 CA makes $213. A 12 yr 767-400 CA makes $241. A 12 yr 747-400 CA makes $255.

Funny...about a year ago I had a NWA guy I know who has 20 years tell me that as 767 Captain he was in the mid $180 hourly range.

You didn't say "a few" either. Am I to assume you meant otherwise? If you don't specify that it's a small amount, then it's safe to say you're accusing all of doing so.

Nice try.


Can't speak to that. Don't know enough about it.
What do you mean you don't know enough about it? Pilots are pilots. A strike is a strike. A picket line is a picket line. You show up and show support, regardless of the union. And if your leadership doesn't get onboard, you demand an answer why...and it better be REALLY good. Or are you saying some pilots are better than others?

I guess that's the difference. Some folks look beyond the uniform to the issue. Some look at the uniform and say "not my problem."
