Your previous post attempted to use an ad hominem attack on me, acting like my inexperience makes me wrong. Perhaps you can use some other logic to explain how for the majority of SWA pilots our sick accrual system isn't better. Try to keep it to standard internet forum post length, as I don't have the time you do to read your ****. I don't care that much what you think. If you think it's realistic for us to get $600/tfp in this contract, great. I think you're being unrealistic. Is it allowed by the RLA? Sure. So is $1000/tfp, so why stop at $600? Why be so narrow minded?
Here's a fact for you. SWAPA is not trying to get $400/tfp, let alone $600. They are trying to get slightly more than Delta 737 rates. Ask them, as I have. So arguing for what you are is just wasted effort. That said, waste away.
Lew is probably the most valuable contributor to the SWA forum and has educated more people on the ins and outs of the RLA than anyone else. If your attention span is too short for his posts don’t read them. It’ll be your loss.
Your opinion might matter if you backed it up with any actual data. Your inexperience doesn’t make you wrong. Your lack of any data supported reasoning does.
