Exactly. This NPRM will cost of something. Either directly with the wages we might give up to keep the relief pilots or the jobs sacrificed by the NPRM.

HSLD,

I thought the CAL contract was effectively FAR's. There were no limitations versus the UAL contract for flight/duty days. Again, this will be something we either pay for or we lose. But it is another chip in the company basket when it comes to leverage.

Need we also say that this POS NPRM is ALPA Endorsed! Those tool bags running ALPA are complete morons. It is high time to remove ALPA as our voice at the major airline level. They are nothing more than shills for the RJ pilots and don't have one concern about the legacy pilots, except for those golden dues dollars. We need to cut the cord, put Judas Prater and Paul Rice-a-roni on the street. Let them go try to find 500K a year jobs where they actually have to do something and are held accountable for their actions. As it stands now they get THEIRS at OUR expense.
