Can you give me a good reason as to why ASA pilots shouldn't be the best compensated pilots in the world for the rest of our careers? We do everything the other guys do and then some. Redeyes, check. S.E. Alaska, check. Arctic, check. ETOPS, check. One of the highest efficiency and utility rates, check. Sustained record profitability, check....the list goes on. And we do it all for, dammm near, straight pay too.

You're right, all we have is our voices and tought talk to raise the issues. We shouldn't be using them to argue amongst each other as to why we should accept less. We need to be directing them towards management as to why we won't accept anything less than best.
Where was this argument for the past 60 years? Like it or not, the airlines evolved into what the NMB views as tiers.
