This has to be a twilight zone epispode.
I honestly don't think pilots could survive in a normal corporate world.
That's what I was thinking reading this post......."twilight zone".
What MANY are saying is that they are PERFECTLY ready to accept what they voted for in the first place. Yet, you are here repeatedly arguing against that (taking what's offered) and now concurrently criticizing them for NOT doing that (accepting what we agreed to) ?
Totally illogical, unless..........
Look, Doug CAN have a Delta competitor for less then Delta pilots compensation (as a package) and the APA is willing to give him that, because lets face it we're not going to get that (as a package NOW), but that's not good enough for Doug. Doug wants MORE and he wants to do so convincing us we should be happy we are giving him Delta for even less then the inferior compensation we are willing to accept then Delta pilots do it for. Many senior Easties don't care and just want their drug, but I'm sorry, this ISN'T US Airways, it's AA. The "old" AA for sure, but if Doug wanted to really change this carrier like he promised and reneged on, he'd have not done this to us in this way. So, we take what WE agreed to and Doug gets the old AA which must be clearly what he's prepared to accept.
Let's get on with arbitration and MOVE ON !
