Johnso,

First, let me say that I do think that you should be getting the same DC contribution. That's not the point though.

You are enduring this with your fellow NW hires of the same period as I did with my fellow B-scalers. I guess I don't understand your point. I made less last year as a 7ER Capt. than I did as a MD 11 FO in 1998. We've all taken a shot on the chin because of bankruptcy. It sucks!!

I'm assuming, in your last sentence, that you mean you make less in your DC contribution than a new hire.

Again Johnso, I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying that's just the way it is. Most likely this group of guys is just going to have to suck it up and take it on chin like we all did with the B scale. I just don't see anything getting resolved with this prior to Jan. 2012 when everyone will have the same contribution. Trying to go back and recover this contribution from past years ain't gonna happen. (My fatalist view)
