As usual your talk focuses where management wants you to lead the line pilots.
The fact is, In my opinion, the current JV language is too restrictive for management. They want more latitude. So you and the gang focus 100% on the protection of growth going forward. To me that is a given. And we deserve a much larger share than we will get. I.e. Virgin.
We need to focus on gains in:
Value of a vacation day, training day and establish a minimum day.
More defined contribution up to 18%.
Lowering medical deductibles to $200 per individual and $400 per family. Cutting medical premiums in half.
What you guys never mention is the fact that our executives are lighting BILLIONS on fire each and every year with stock buy backs.
They need to invest in our air line. Not one more penny wasted on buy backs.
Stock buy backs achieve but one goal. Making our executives richer.
There is no excuse for bankruptcy medical, vacation, min day and training day while they waste billions on buy backs.
How much has our flying to the U.K. Increased since the JV with Virgin? How does that compare to other international markets? I bet you won't post the answers!
