I appreciate the good natured discussion and honest point of view.
The fact is there is no "sting" to be taken out of 4a2b for those on or going to the 777 or 757. That's what I was addressing. Higher pay rates for them may be "industry standard" bargaining technique but it is seldom executed in such junior pilot unfriendly way. Thank you management and DW.
Many have tried to sell me on the trickle down theory over the years. Kinda funny how that is both a Republican and an ALPA slogan. Guess that's why senior ALPA members have trouble giving support to the Democratic party. Union member but conservative. I've got mine but don't want to share. But that is a different, non-APC, discussion.
Somehow Bernie Madoff's picture pops into view and the small hairs stand up on my neck when I hear, "all boats will rise with the tide."
