Isn't ironic when our guy points out salient points having to do with CAL he's labeled an a-hole but when one of yours does she's instantly granted sainthood?
Quite frankly I don't care if the 747 pays the highest as long as it doesn't affect the SLI. The reason our MEC doesn't want it sitting on a lofty perch is it does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for our Pilots.
We'll never fly the thing, (see fences), and it'll be gone by the time the fences come down. Like I said, draft a side letter that the arbitrator can't consider the 747's pay or status as factor and its all good.
