Those Qs=the extra amount of money 9E pilots should have on their paychecks every month. I don't see how anyone can argue with that. And that was all I was saying.
You're twisting my words and trying to make it sound like I'm blaming colgan for us not having a contract. Although if we had never bought Colgan the company we have even more money and even fewer excuses to not give us a raise.
This is "La La" land thinking. If PNCL corp had not bought Colgan and the Q's you would not have more money, Uncle Phil and his boys would. They will never give you a raise if you continue to do well under your current contract, why would they?
Slowdowns and sickouts are the way.
And you are indirectly blaming Colgan for not having a contract. That if Colgan was not purchased there would be extra money and "fewer excuses to no give us a raise."
