I beg to differ. I made $220k last year without figuring profit sharing. $245k with profit sharing. All on $185/hr. Your rate might have been $15/hr more but I more than made up for it with the soft time opportunities that I no longer have. So please let go of the illusion that the VX guys got a windfall. It’s simply not true. This merger has afforded both pilot groups substantial raises. It was a win for all despite not getting the ruling we wanted.

Anyway, d*ck measuring on an internet forum isn’t going to help at all. There is a 99.999999% that SLI is going to arbitration and both pilot groups bickering on here is absolutely pointless. Don’t lose sight that we are almost into 2018. We start full negotiations in 2 years. I suggest spending more effort focusing on that and saving up a strike fund than grenading ourselves over something we ultimately will have no control over.
