Specifically,

A. Tell me what leverage we will have with our broken group still blaming each other for this disaster who will all be older with many who haven't already retired, are very close to it ?

B. Tell me what leverage we will have with the worst (most competitively advantageous to management) work rules and benefits of all the competitive legacy carriers ?

C. Tell me what leverage we will have with the lowest pay scales of the big three ?

D. Explain why Parker won't kick the can for another 5 years after that considering the above future FACTS ?

E. Convince me as an older, more senior pilot much CLOSER to retirement why I shouldn't act in self-interest as many advocate now (rationalized or not) for a few extra bucks and a little sooner as opposed to the more favorable long-term interests of the group, especially when I'll be gone before any succeeding agreement ?

Make it good, because next time around without a believable plan nor a GROUP to stand with, I'll have flipped big time and trust me.......I'll have plenty of company.

Your move.
