I know what you've written and I have copies of everything you just posted. You are the one person I never thought I'd here them state that they are happy we have 2-3 year CAs. It ****es me off because it tells me what kind of POS contract we have.
A legacy airline with 5000 pilots should not have 82% seniority holding CA narrowbody or 63% holding 757-767 CA slots. It should be more like 55% and 40% respectively.
Ask those with FedEx, UPS or SWA what the break point for holding CA slots are relative to percentage of seniority within their pilot groups and I will bet you your strike chairman postion we have the highest CA at 82% than any other legacy. That doesn't make me happy. Again, our seniority is inverted.
And as far as the expansion. WE ARE FUNDING THAT on our OWN BACKS. And that doersn't make me happy either.
How about guys from real airlines here chime in and give us your opinion. Am I thinking wrong here?
