Why did management think transitioning from 3 man DC-10s to 2 man MD-10s and 11s wouldn't create extra crewmembers? Same for 727 to 757. The 777 is also increasing efficiency but to a lesser degree.
We are funding the purchase of 757s and 777s. Every one should have the words "Brought to you by" and a big, fat ALPA sticker next to it. Maybe BC and DW can sign them.
We certainly aren't getting anything for the savings in crew costs operating our newest airplanes. Might as well see something on the side recognizing our big contribution.
I personally approve a BZ for the entire pilot group! Give them a pat on the back the next time you see them.
