Tony,

Sorry about the paycut. I understand seniority very well.

As I mentioned earlier, I am not advocating throwing these guys to the wolves. They had every career expectation met. They have a great retirement plan. They could still work as FEs.

Shaping legislation so 150 guys can come back to the front seat isn't seniority. It is taking care of a very vocal special interest. For our next contract, should we support a 30% raise for pilots aged 60-65 and nothing for the rest of us? Let's take care of a special group at the expense of the rest. Isn't that seniority?

Supporting retroactivity wasn't honoring the seniority system, it was just plain stupid....

End of rant, and again sorry about the pay cut.....
