I'm sure you're a good person, so I'm not attacking the person, but certainly I am attacking your argument. It's 100% wrong.

We've already pretty much done everything the flitehoes require. There is no cap, and they can get around max pick-up, and up to FAR's. They can turn tricks all day long. Before work, they can spin from the pole, do a little lap dance, and go to the back room to perform some more. On the way home, they can get bam-chica-bam in a back-alley, if they so desire. They can grab work off the open time, and play swapping games with their friends. But evidently, there is no satiating their appetites. Now they want everyone else's money?

Flitehoes would have us take negotiating capital, and instead of improving payrates for all, steer it to themselves? Special status to elevate their professional skills, at the expense of everyone else? Make no mistake about it: an argument for 1.5 > 80 isn't an argument to help all Delta pilots bring more of the bacon home, it's an attempt to steer benefits away from the pilot group in general, to a specific group.

How about: NFW?

You want to fly more, fly more. Meanwhile, how about helping us get higher earnings across the board?
