DALFA, I keep referencing the Q & A that you so kindly posted, yet you say I'm in a fantasyland. I explain that it is NOT my opinion, but based on many conversations with the FA's I fly with. . .I guess they aren't living in reality either. And now you are trying to explain that in a equation that is based on hourly rates & legs flown that if a domestic FA who flys 82 hours and picks up an additional trip won't make at the very least an additional 16% in boarding pay while an 88 hour New Hire makes 13%? You see DALFA, I'm NOT basing this on just your paycheck (as your evidently are), but on the stats that our company has published AND the many FA's that I fly with! While you have digressed into calling me clueless and living in a fantasyland, I continue to present facts and feedback from my fellow crew, THAT is the reality.

Now, unless you have something factual to contribute that represents more than just your personal opinion supported by your own paycheck, how about you keep this professional and quit trying to disprove that the FA's received a 25.5% pay increase since the pilots contract expired over 3 years ago. After all, this is a Pilot's forum and here you are trying to what? Lower our expectations for the current negotiations? Create animosity between crew members? Argue for arguments sake?

I have wasted enough time with this discourse, and I'm sure you will continue to repeating yourself without listening to either the published facts from our company or the feedback I have received from your fellow FA's. The current contract negotiations is OUR battle and we could certainly use your support rather than your divisiveness! Remember, many of the benefits you enjoy are a result of the hard fought negotiations from your fellow pilots that were also given to the Flight Attendants.
