I asked you to denote the correlation between the wages at my airline (which btw are industry leading along with our contract) and your company's poor financial state and poor management, and you failed to connect the dots.
Frankly, I feel sorry for your predicament, I can only assume that your emotional and irrational responses are the byproduct of years of frustration under the thumb of a spineless CEO and a worthless MEC. As such, I will not engaged in a character attack with someone that lacks both the character and vision on account of the circumstances they have been exposed to. All I can say to you friend is best of luck.
I didn't sense any anger in his response to you... You on the other hand are more 'emotional and irrational' in your posts. IMO of course.
In fact I thought his response was pretty spot on. If you can't understand that the erosion of flying to feeder carriers and the desire to put bigger jets in your fleet and outsource MORE flying is driven by your low wages and low overall cost of your CBA....then I don't know what to say. The assault on our scope is an attempt to shift flying to lower COST entities. In UAs wet dream they see 90 & 110 seat jets being flown by the 'feeders'. The only reason that is appealing is that it costs LESS money. What other dots am I missing? I'm not personally attacking you, but you have to see where you stand on the playing board.
ALPA Merger policy is not something that can be quoted in part and be accurate. It simply provides a framework of principles to reach an agreement. You toss out 'career expectations' like it really means something!!! No one can define someones career expectations outside the scope of todays reality. Having 150 787s on order doesn't mean jack. 150 787s on the ramp...that's a whole 'nuther story.
