I've said it before and I'll say it now...most of the requests Parker has made simply mirror what he was working with under LUS, and it mirrors DL and UA. LUS has more defined short call language than LAA currently has. We have combined divisions, unlike LAA. We don't use LAA's HBT carve outs. We don't do monthly bids (it's as needed).

None of those doom-and-gloom scenarios mentioned are the reality at LUS, so I seriously doubt it'll happen if applied to the LAA side as well. Airport standby as a result of using "promptly" in short-call language? That's nonsense.

Again, if you want to oppose the current deal, that's fine, but do so using facts and reality, not made up hyperbole and dooms-day "what if" scenarios. Seriously, we're not going to be getting check rides during midnight currency sims. We're not going to get furloughed or stagnated for decades from merging I/D fences. We're not going to be flying 8h 58m flights to Europe with two pilots. We're not losing our duty/trip rigs that we currently have...if anything, they'll get very slightly better.

And as for LUS living under LOA93...that was USAPA's doing. You know, the same guys telling you those horror stories listed above and leading the "just say no" campaign?

Again I have no problem if someone says "I don't like the deal because it doesn't have min day". Cool, and that's a legit reason. I don't personally think we'll be able to negotiate for it at this point, but hey, at least you have a real reason to vote it down. But all this other rhetoric? Come on...
