For the record.....I'm not giving up scooby snacks either

They are going to have to throw a lot any contract before I vote for one that has a little black line drawn thru every mention of A-380 and replaced with 777. They may think they negotiated for ULR rules......like we thought we negotiated ULR payrates..... I think we're back to square one and they'll have to give more if they want to adjust the wording that's in the contract pertaining to the A-380, in order to fly the 777 the way they want to..

Quite frankly, I am happy the way the contract reads now. Let them spend all the money they want to buy 777f's to replace whatever airplane they want. They just have to fly them under non-ULR's until the contract is amended. I for one would be happy to see the contract we have last forever.

For those that think I'm shortsighted.....(and yes I did vocally support the contract we have now). I am flying for $0.87 an hour less now, then before the last TA was ratified. In addition, I am flying less hours. I did make a little money in the meantime.......

I am not willing to give up a damn thing in order to be cost-neutralized by the company. So....I say, we keep the same contract ad-infinitum. We keep exploiting our vacation, we keep allowing guys to retire at 60 with no penalty, they provide the healthcare (which is pretty good) we keep everything we have to date. We fly the 777 just like the MD-11, the 757 just like the 727 and everyone is happy. No ULR, no nothing.....status quo.

If they want to 4a2b us forever, (assuming we lose completely under arbitration), great!..... at least we know now and can get a second job, or pursue some other lifelong dream while working a part-time job at FedEx while maintaining the most expensive benefits in the world for part-timers.

Keep the exact same contract......If they want something......like they say in contracting.....”Kill 'em on the change order.” Trade something they want for exorbitant pay rates.
