I think you are referring to this post. I was not referring to RAH pilots as scabs. I was talking to Toilet about costs associated with XJT vs. RAH and our 401K's. I pointed out to Toilet that the mentality that he was presenting was the same as a scab. I'm pretty sure other guys got on him for this. If you read what I said "
Why don't you take this attitude to the guys at the Majors and see how much they agree with you? You are as low as a scab." I was trying to make a point this is what gets us low wages and benefits in the first place. If for some reason people thought I was calling RAH guys scabs I greatly apologize, because that is not what I said. The pilots at RAH are not scabs or any where near it.

For a 18-year employee here, we get 6% match plus a 6% contribution from the company. That equals 12% contribution from the company for only putting in 6% = total of 18%!
What does RAH give you?
That is also an expense I'm sure CAL wanted to get away from.

You still didn't answer my question. What does RAH give you for your 401K?

My true feelings? I have no emotional thoughts on any of this. I'm taking nothing personal unlike some. Have all the 401K matching you want but I'd rather have a job.
