Trust me, I have gone hoarse telling guys this and the ins and outs of why. All they see is this is what I have, and I am willing to anything to get it. That includes selling out the pilot group that gave them what they have and still have.

They do not grasp the logic that because they did not save, it is not my problem to deal with. There were and are a great many senior captains that always saved as much as they could in their B fund. Many saved outside of it. They are fine. The ones that do not see gaining a pension again as another win in the lottery. They do not care about the costs or the reality of the situation. Much like someone that plays the lottery they just dream.
Problem is that if they got their pension pack it would more than likely benefit them. That is a fact. There is no way they would get credit for YOS.

The point in this diatribe is to point out that even those that do not understand the score get a vote. That is why communication is key.

One point I agree with in that ROAR article is that given the state of our current contract recapturing the 76 seat flying would just cost to much. The author is dead on when he states this. Pay will come first.
Sometimes people do not like the facts, but those are the facts.

Simply put, we need to get a 100 seat jet on mainline. It needs to be viable for the company, and that means a lot of things. Many of them I have spent considerable time trying to educate people about. None of it is a "B" scale. People that state that do not understand what that means.
