Moakism was OK when the company was bankrupt but now it is harming pilots.

THIS IS NOT OUR PROBLEM.

We have a contract that spells out exactly how to handle surpluses. How about we follow that contract for a change instead of re-writing it every time management wants "relief"?

If the company wants to get out of their contractual obligations then they need to pay us.

Allowing them to pay people out of seniority is a giant give-away.
EVERY pilot should get some benefit for allowing that and not just the few golden boys.

Most of us have been displaced and had to go to school. Some people several times. No offense, but why are 747 captains special?
