And I should make 379,000. I just got off the phone with him and he said he would gladly take my W2 for both years if I gave him my A plan. I said throw in your scheduling package and I will think about it... the more I think about it the less convinced I really want to trade. In 25 years we can check back, I honestly hope he does better, he is a great guy. But we will both have done OK.
Shy is an idiot to leave ALK... He will have a great career here. 8/10 FO’s on the VX side are trying to leave ALK.... I am sorry, that is a lie. Grow up we all have good jobs in the end someone will have a better one but we will all be fine.
2020 negotiate some improvements, my buddy says he would like to pattern bargain on top of us for a change!
Oh and he says every cranky SWA FO is leaving for Delta because SWA sucks!
The biggest flaw in your argument is that only an ever shrinking subset of our pilot group are getting a pension. Meanwhile, every SW pilot has vastly better scheduling and vacation sections...
