Why is it growing? Maybe because we have the company over the barrel right now with the EASK metric. Again read Georgetq's last couple of posts.
This place always tries to invent the most horrific results and yet they never seem to occur. George was grossly wrong on 2012 so his predictive record does not impress me.
You can't just say he was wrong, you need to prove it. He supports his posts with factual articles.
The company paid us off for the 4 years they were out of compliance and it's not rational that they would then agree to some metric they can't hit after they paid us off. You wouldn't accept that deal. Taking the LHR stuff out is good because that is a growth market. I looked at the scope compliance stuff on the alpa site and if I knew how to attach it here I would. You can see that international block hours are going up. APC says the sky is falling, at some point you have cried wolf too much.
So, you are willing to give up a potential huge upside (possibly a lot more wide body flying with all the upgrades and higher wages) for a lower than current Block Hour down side. Okay. I'm not. I get it we don't agree. I also don't think I'm saying the sky is falling or that I'm crying wolf. Those are your words not mine.
I realize there is a lot of unrealistic scenarios being advanced, it's the realistic ones that scare me.
