With U.S. airlines awash in cash these days.


Moak contends that ALPA pilots at the larger carriers enjoy what he calls “mature, good contracts” already. Radical overhauls aren’t in the cards, he says.[/B]


Most of the contract talks are likely to center on basic compensation—hourly pay rates and how much carriers pay into pilots’ retirement plans.

[COLOR=Red][B]“There will be a business discussion of pay as it relates to revenue,” Moak says. “You can argue about $2 or $2.05, and that matters to the crew member,” but “you’re working on the margins” on the new contracts, he says._


"The real test of all this bonhomie will come when the talks turn to money—and who will get it." Hint: It won't be us. Not with this mentality! Moak has done and continues to do a tremendous amount of damage to our profession. Like somebody else said, unfreakingbelievable.
