I get it. You've lost your left seat and now you're scared for your job. Join the club. It's called Aviation. Your cheer leading for concessions is well documented. Thankfully, any givebacks will have to clear the MEC before we even get a vote. Because sure as sheet, when the company puts out 3500 furlough notices, we'll have 3000+ yes votes to whatever concessions make it out of the MEC (human nature, I've been there, done that). That reduced guarantee idea you were touting sounds great, and unique, too! <tic>. We (UAL) reduced it from 78 to 75 in Contract 2000. To 65 in concessionary Contract 2003. Was able to boost it to 70/73 in 2012. Never once heard of the company prodding the union to increase it due to the good times. LOL. Why pay reserves 73 if you can pay them less? Check out the utilization rate for the last few years... the do dah days!! 73 is almost 20 hours more than average RSV credit. Full pay/ last day.
