Wake up from your delusions. You're blue collar labor.
A legacy wide body captain makes well north of 300k a year , and you think I'm delusional, if We are just skilled blue collars , then We are grossly overpaid, considering what average white collars jobs are paying .

I remember the company asked for a 26% cut not 11%. I also remember ALPA publicly stating we were going to take a hit.
In addition it wasn't just pay the company wanted. They wanted the A plan badly. Thankfully Kasher never let them near it.

Like you said......and Kasher knew we would cave and hand them the A plan in 09 so he stayed away....For all the geniuses fronting as pilots...How would you have removed the "arbitration side letter gun" from our heads....It had to go...It was put there, loaded and cocked by the previous generation.....At least we only had head wound when it was over....If you werent there, If you were enjoying an alternate source of income, If you did not live through it then keep your mouth shut and learn from it....The same people are still running Alaska Airlines.....

Yeah, in arbitration. I'm talking about the original offer that was endorsed by ALPA National. The MEC, however, thought they could win arbitration, so they rejected it.

Original AS unis in the '90s were light blue shirts. Best thing they ever did was switch to white so we wouldn't be reminded we were just blue collar labor.

Heck, some airlines wear grey!
