I understand this was part of our current contract. It was an all or nothing package, not a vote on the individual provisions. Next you're going to tell me what a great deal reroutes are.
You must have some kind of secret dossier that gives you insight into what the entire pilot group wants at any given moment....or it maybe this guy is your hero...the one that you would love to fly with as he never called in sick in 45 years.

I guess with your attitude we should never seek improvements or bother re-negotiating anything since once it's done it's "game over" in your book.
Umm, I think you misunderstand me, ayecarumba.
I was only trying to say that this poop-sandwich we took with the last contract ratification was detrimental to our ability to determine whether we are safe to fly. My comment about not sharing a cockpit with me while sick was meant to say, "don't fly if you're sick!!!"
I completely understand the sick give was a poop-sandwich we collectively decided to eat for the gains realized. My only point was don't let this stupid verification program force you to sit next to me because the company is forcing you to. I don't want to get sick and bring that back to my family after a trip any more than you probably do.
"That being said," I wouldn't mind flying with you (unless you are sick!)
