I NEVER said a portion of my dues don't go to National. And that's not what we're debating. YOU said money isn't controlled on a local level. I proved you wrong.

Oh yes, 7 years past the amendable date is fantastic improvements. And GoJet is really hitting it out of the park. Maybe you saw what Comair made? ASA? ExpressJet? Air Wisconsin? And stop putting words in my mouth. That's the SECOND time you've done it. I NEVER called GoJet pilots scabs, & I NEVER called Regional pilots substandard citizens. There you go with that broad brush again.

Well, you heard him wrong. Or he didn't know his own pay rate. On 7/1/2012 a 12 yr 767-300ER CA made $196.52. Starting 1/1/2013 his rate jumped to $213.22. Don't believe me? Then see for yourself.

I would think the phrase "I don't know enough about that." would be fairly self explanatory. And there ya go again putting words in my mouth. Can you quote where I stated some pilots are better then others? I didn't think so.

Well, it's clear IBT has failed to do that in many instances. As has USAPA.
