I can't believe this. All this chest thumping will do nothing.

It's obvious we won't get more by going to arbitration. The company proposal is not the end of the world, especially since scope is off the table. Lets examine:

1. 2 hour call out. No big deal. It's been that way for years at US Airways.

2. Combining domestic/ international. Again, no big deal. It's been that way for years at US. Why this is an issue I cant comprehend. If anything, it would give more bidding options.

3. Landing currency at night. Ok, for a very small portion of pilots, go to the Sim for 30 minutes at night once every 3 months. Big deal. You fly at night all the time doing international.

All of these things can be tweaked if we agree to the framework. Maybe we can negotiate a 3 hour call out, one year shorter duration, etc. Lets get this done and get it to a vote.
