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.

Heck, some airlines wear grey! Honestly can't wait for a real pilot uniform so we can look the part. Never fails when you walk in a pilot uniform to a gate agent to jumpseat and get the, "are you a pilot?" question. I'm all for being cool and hip but if other airline employees can't even recognize that you are a pilot, then the uniform probably has gone too far. |

Not how I remember it. I went to a company roadshow in LAX way before we got anywhere near arbitration. 26% and the A plan is what they wanted from the start. I remember the promise by Ayer that the FOs shouldn't worry about it because with all the growth at 10% ROIC we would be Captains in no time. Lol.
Believe me, there was a LOT of stuff going on behind the scenes that the average line pilot had NO idea about. |

You'd think the stripes would give it away.

Walk up to the agent and say I am an offline pilot jumpseater and I would like to standby for the cockpit jumpseat. That way you would not have to walk through the airport in fear of a $13 an hour shift worker bruising your delicate little ego by asking "are you a pilot." Maslow would like to talk to you about your first world self-actualization problem when you have some free time. :rolleyes: |

It would be sweet and would make you feel pretty awesome. |
Touched a nerve, eh? I always identify as a pilot jumpseater first when I walk up to jumpseat somewhere, but it still happens. Thanks for your suggestions on the uniform modifications. :rolleyes:
