I'm not talking about ALL those 23 yr. FOs. My point is we have 23 yr FOs that don't bid CA just like we have many 20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11 etc. year FOs while 2-3 year new hires are holding CA.
Our contract QOL is so bad no one is willing to be junior except those that think a pay raise comes from upgrading which is exactly what management wants to hear.
NEWS RELEASE: Continental Airlines is proud of the accomplishements of our employees investment and we are pleased to announce that the sacrifices made by our pilots has been rewarded with many recieving upwards of 80% pay raises over the last year.
In response to this CAL management has been rewarded with stock options totaling a combined $42 million for the sacrifices upper management made as well during the last 7 years. It is great that management and the pilots can work together to achieve harmony and we are assured that the relationship with our pilots is stronger than ever.
