You have to remember that the clowns on the 4th floor can all come to work when they have a head cold or a sprained ankle. Pilots, not so much.
Oh, the 4th floor guys also get to sleep in their own beds every night, get all weekends and holidays off too.
Pilots didn't even get "Holiday Pay" in this POS TA.
That's what burns me up. Before the TA was released, I was like a little kid at Christmas thinking I was going to open up a great present. Record profits, the company wants an early contract, Richard wants it signed before he leaves, etc. led me to believe we were really going to get back a lot of quality of life items we had lost in POS 96 and bankruptcy. Then I open up the present and see this... turd. Cost neutral and concessions? The company actually might be saving money when all the profit sharing for other employees is factored in? That's the best we can do? 6 months early? As a 26 year faithful alpa supporter and even apologist, I have finally thrown in the towel. Where's my DPA card? The NC and MEC 'yes' men were the last straw.
