I agree. So many talk about what "leverage" we have right now. But what good is leverage if you have no intention of getting anything for it? Running around here with your chest puffed out, arms folded, and yelling "no concessions" is absolutely ignorant. A smart business person should be saying to management, "you need the sick leave policy changed, so how badly do you need that? You need the Line Check Airman bidding changed, how badly? 40% raise bad?"

And I hear pilots say that quality of life isn't for sale but that's stupid too. If you can get paid enough money, then you can afford to drop trips and still be home the same.
