It's because of threads likes this that makes me glad I only have 17 years 14 days left to retire. It's about to get dramatically better at the Regionals, instead of inviting Cabotage in our house continue to support the big 3 that voted NO to concessions this past winter. Staffing is so tight now flights are being cancelled & planes parked. Upgaging will continue at mainline carriers and big RJs will be brought into the mainline fleets.....creating additional jobs on top of the jobs due to the retirement wave.

I agree with one part of the original post. ALPA can suck it at the REGIONAL level. You guys need a RALPA. That does not have a conflicting interest. Organize, advertise, protest, informational picketing, put up the big Rat, full page newspaper ads.

But you don't treat indigestion & heartburn by inviting a cancerous virus in to counteract it. In the end you'll need Chemo and what's left of the industry will be devastated and working for a "livable" wage. A livable wage in the US now is around $50 grand. Do you REALLY want livable wages flying big metal around the US? I'm an 8th yr DAL narrow body right seater. My total comp this year, excluding the value of healthcare will be around $215,000 & I'm home on average 15 days a month.

You can take cabotage and a "livable" wage and shove it.
