When UPS said if the F/O's get more captains get less I said get more pie, but we all know how it really works with them. Hence fixing the M-scale did in reality come out of our pockets, and those pockets are not endlessly deep. In '98 the captain's got the biggest bump, in the latest the F/O's did. If history is any indication....well
Sideshow,
Probably recall I was also a vocal opponent of the CBA, but not for the money reasons. Definitley fear won the day. Posted the RLA timeline and we were barely into the real muscle of our options. Oh well, we blinked.
Also have stated on the B&G, it is time to rally the IPA and support the CBA. Othewise 2012+ will see a resounding repeat as 757upspilot fears. I'm an optimist. Time to get the momentum sooner than later. Glad we currently have more than one running for each position. Start in the right direction <g>
Hope all well! One of our classmates heading up to you in Jan.
