Margins are a percentage of net versus gross, and as such, meaningless to us who are hired labor. Margins are management's concern. All the NMB will care about is how many dollars are we demanding, and how many dollars does our company make. If our company makes a lot more dollars than the dollars we are demanding, the NMB will not consider it unreasonable.

Your continuous attempts to use metrics to persuade for the absolute minimization of pilot costs is harmful.

Irrelevant, but even you know that.

You are specifically arguing and working hard for the absolute minimization of pilot costs. That is your objective. Above is just one of many examples. What I don't understand is how you think anyone could miss it?

No you don't Oberon. You want the minimization of pilot costs. We've had a few guys here (mostly newbies) that believe in that because they feel it reduces the chance that they'll be furloughed. It's nothing new unfortunately. Your continuing to deny it is why your credibility is so shot here. You've been told this before and you've ignored it, but I'll say it again...You'd do your credibility some good if you would do more listening and learning.

See my previous post on that subject.
