However, real flow is a nice insurance policy to have.
you obviously have no idea what we were fighting for based on your misrepresentations. The problem isn't CA pay being too high; the problem is FO pay being too low. Endeavor proved that with their bonus money. No upgrade in sight, but their classes are full because they're paying them.
Well sounds like we both agree mainline will take 5-7 years. Why did you fight in vain to fend off 12/4 instead off getting the most you could for it. You have 47 170 outsourced to republic who you knew couldn't handle them. Dozens to asa and skw, and dozens to express jet to and tsa Did you ever submit a proposal to mgmt to get that flying back? Instead you let 800- 1000 dues paying pilots believe they should just leave. The 300 lifers are forgoing at least 1.5 million dollars in career earnings to maintain there Qol. That ought to tell you how important it really is, and instead of creating that for your pilots by trying to get your flying back, prob 80 jets worth you cried race to the bottom $93 at year 12 instead of $104. When all that flying would have surly created a higher Qol for your guys. Something the lifers are paying millions for.
