Two things that bug me.
1. Selfish, egotistical pilots who think it's only about them.
2. Pilots who don't get they have a representative Union which will do their best to cut a deal.
It does no good to discuss what you personally are willing to take, give or whatever here or anywhere. It's not about you there's 13K other pilots with issues who are represented by ALPA.
You may hate what they come up with and quite frankly what they come up with may kill the goose or it might save it for another day. It is what it is.
Oh, and try to tell your FAs or neighbors how bad it was to be paid $95 an hour. They will probably shake their head and walk away.
Yeah, the neighbors probably think the $95 / hr is for a 40 hr work week x 4 for a months pay. Not how it works. Not their business either. Everyone needs to take care of their family.
I agree though, why not wait for the union to come back with something?
