It angers me to see the selfishness and singlemindedness of some of our "brothers". If the company was to come to DALPA with an LOA to bring new hire pay in line with United presumably to "fix their problem", the impression I get is that the ALPA's response would be words to the effect of "ok fine, if that's something you want, what are you willing to give us in return?" Effectively saying what's it worth to you to be able to pay some of us more! That's ludicrous! Anytime you can secure an incremental improvement for zero cost, you take it! That sets a new bar for future negotiations! They're not going to agree to an LOA where they have to give every pilot on the list another $20,000! And the reason that came in to play at Endeavor was not because we couldn't fill classes, it was because we were losing 60 FO's a month to other regionals and we were forced to downgrade captains to staff the right seat! Totally different problem!
