When asked why the negotiators think that scope isn't worth the paper it's written, one of the ALPO reps said that scope is something the pilot group can get during bad economic conditions. Why, because we can't get money out of the company so we'll just have to settle for scope? Seriously, that's what this guy said. That's just plain retarded. This is who we have negotiating for us. Pathetic!
"Willing to give up?".... ZERO! Kasher took pretty much everything; we don't owe the company anything. We can score Academy winning contracts for the next 3 decades and it won't make up for all of the losses-not even close. Alaskan is making all time record profits and did they return a penny back to this pilot group? CEO pay has gone up by 937% since 1978. Yeah, they make more than 10 times what they made 30 years ago. What did a 747 captain make it 1978? What's he making today? Greed never stops. Why do you think labor has to give up anything? Wake up, boys 'n girls! Change the mentality and change the game!
