That was the theory used in the pre-Kasher negotiation. You all know how well that worked out. 20% pay cut for the Captains, 35% pay cut for the F/Os closely followed by a 3 year furlough.

I'm all for you guys getting what you deserve. Just pick your battles. Answer your questionnaire. I'll bet you reserve rules take a back seat to just about everything else.

I’m very familiar thank you. Several bankruptcies, mergers, contracts etc. You are comparing now to Kasher, two completely different times. I still fail to see why you are so interested and why we should listen to you. Latest new ALPA contracts signed have made gains in more than just a couple areas of the previous contract obviously.

The times are indeed different. Alaska management is not. And you can't change that leopard's spots.

Again, I hope you guys get what you deserve. Making headway on reserve rules that effect 10% of the pilot group? Good luck with that.

"APATHY is the soul-rotting, civilization-ending, rationalization that, since it is difficult to change entrenched institutions, it is better to passively allow them to pontificate, vitiate, or annihilate whilst we contemplate, procrastinate, and
exculpate in the ennui that is the luxury of those just beyond the earshot of oppression." - online quote

THE APATHY AROUND HERE IS STIFLING...

If that's true you have a huge staffing problem. Stand by for furloughs.

Again, hope you're right but then weren't they going to hire 900 a couple years ago?

Angle Lake tends to exaggerate numbers like that when they figure out they need the Instructors on the line EVERY summer.

He’s still clueless. I’ve yet to see the reserve % change by more than a couple percent since being here. All percentages base/seat published monthly in ALPA scheduling committee update, page 26 in the latest.
