Trip duty rigs, IVR jump seat system, LTD, etc, etc. Buh bye. They also agreed to binding arbitration, so if we turn this down, how do you think we'll fair with an
arbitrator? Don't get me wrong, I'm thankfull for the merger and understand the APA wanting to get rid of Horton, but we won't be matching you for a long time. Could you walk in my resume?
We are all held hostage by this, arent we?
There is a way, but unfortunately many of today's pilots are timid, conservative and dont really want to rattle the cage. The era of 911, bankruptcy, layoffs, threats etc has done its job of resetting our wages.
Best of luck to all of us. I guess we have succumbed. Just make sure APA and AA give you Delta of C2015 not of C2012.
