Not that I'm worried about it, anyway.

We have no way of NOT flying an A/C, no matter what the pay rate status is. There are comparisons to other airlines but our contract allows the company to fill any primary vacancy by junior manning or hiring off the street... CBA 24.C.3.b
If you want to through spears at guys that bid the 777 at least have a credible argument as to how you would address the situation.
Do any of you really think that if we had the umm.. "GUTS" to not bid the airplane that the company would let THAT bid go through? With the Bottom 250 flying that airplane?... Really?
No .. if we had the "GUTS".. that bid would have been cancelled.. and we would have gotten a lot further in this negotiation for the proper payrate for the 777.
