[QUOTE=rube;1914473]Respectfully, one of us is wrong, but it's much less expensive if I am wrong.


The give is about two percent of trips withheld from pre-month bidding. I am simply never going to be senior enough for this to matter to me anyway, but I get it that this is a cottage industry for some very senior first officers, who are nonetheless irate over the abrogation of seniority and quality of life.




We would need a 25.1% raise on January 1, 2017, or 53.8% in 2018 just to match what is on the table today. That’s gonna take a lot more than an inflatable rat.




Rube,

I don't have time to discuss all of the erroneous assumptions in your post so I will just focus on two.

2 % of trips???? You actually believe that? Newflash - that is backward looking data - the huge hiring and training wave is in front of us. Total fail.

When coming up with your preposterous 25.1% and 53.8% numbers why do you conveniently leave out retro-pay? In C2000 the last contract that DALPA actually "bargained" we received retro pay.

IF the NMB is so big on precedent why are we ignoring this?
