Anyway, we put together a deal and said we would pull the trigger on the contract when (IF) the TA passes. Just got the word that I'll have to make a down payment when the first bonus check comes in.

Well, I'm on the way to have my own custom built ski-boat....and between the bonus and about two drafts a month for a year...it is essentially free!

I mean I get the whole retirement and healthcare thing....but I actually have a trust that takes care of that. It does limit my payout in retirement if I have any debt...so in all honesty, the TA worked out great because the more liquid I stay now.....the more I get when I retire. Sorry it didn't work out for some of you.

Congrats, drive safe

On a side note, back in the day, ONE pilot could afford to buy a high end ski boat. Its sad that today after the continual management beat down and FUD campaign, 22 pilots are needed to buy that high end ski boat : and to boot, one out of the 22 brags about their purchasing power on a depreciating asset. WHat am I missing???

I might be wrong, but maybe you are pulling our chains?
