Now if you are going to tell me that f16 and some of bluejetdorks post don't cone across as being talked down to well maybe that's me, but I guess questioning my comprehension skills slightly annoys me. Look I simply want us to look out for all of the pilots and while some on here say the same thing some of the posts do not indicate that. Again how much of a difference should we allow between the aircraft? I simply don't trust pilots and there are plenty of bus guys to out vote the 190. I wouldn't be shocked to see a scenario where the 190 is decoupled left where it is and we are told to bid the bus if you can hold it because the 190 is already the highest paid. I just don't know if that is a good thing for our group. Just like the VA deal how many guys were already saying DOH because it would be a good deal for them while screwing 1/3 of this group. I want to look out for every pilot that wears a blue shirt from our most jr to the senior. Alpa has a history of eating their young let's not repeat it. If anything the first 2 years of FO pay should be the same for the new guys otherwise if we still keep the seat lock and decouple the 190 pay that is going to be a BS deal for the guys just starting here. Look it is what it is and all I can do is vote when we have a TA.
