Remind me of when we have gotten a better offer?

We can't even not stop flying disputed pairings or gobbling up open time at straight pay.

My real concern is that when Cathay had their "49's" issue a few years ago, they had no problem finding qualified pilots to fly their planes. New Hire Captains. Out of seniority. Chinese courts upheld these decisions.

The FDA LOA ain't great, it lacks alot. But again, will we get a better offer? Is the company looking for an excuse to hire others overseas? I heard someone say that hiring foriegn pilots is like a bear getting a taste for human flesh...once it starts...who knows when it will end.

Just ask Atlas pilots. Just ask Cathay Pilots.

I'm still on the fence on how I will vote. But...getting our feet on the soil to me is the most important issue that I feel needs to be addressed and not forgotten.

Flame away!

IMHO
