Is Jerry incapable of dividing 80 by 5?
OR
Was Jerry deliberately misleading (I'll say it again in Jerry format, LYING!!!!!) us by stating that it takes 20 days at 5 hours per day to reach 80 hours?
He's not lying and the bid packages prove it. Go to any one of them that has domestic flying in them. You'll notice a lot of trips that have red eyes in them that would indeed take you 20 days of work to reach 80 hours. That's because there are exceptions to the minimum pay rules based on time of day you check in. Look at a bid packet and see for yourself.

I know he can too. What you can't do is acknowledge he's absolutely correct. Not with every trip in our domestic system, but a great deal of them.

This is where we disagree. We are NOT pulling out of the lost decade. We are making it worse. I acknowledge that we improved our pay and are at least getting COLA adjustments, but we fully funded that with productivity increases and a reduction in profit sharing. Where we're really hurting is scope. We're continuing to outsource pilot jobs on all fronts, and DALPA refuses (thus far) to show any stomach for defending our scope language.

Never called you a liar...you specifically called Jerry a liar and did so in all caps and bold font. If you say you sent in a DPA card at one time, then I believe you. And for saying that you didn't, you have my apologies.
