My SWAG is that RU will avoid an overt invasion, but continue with low-intensity and asymmetric pressure. Putin is trying to distract folks at home from their struggling economy... conflicts tends to do that, but the long-term ramifications of the inevitable western sanctions (more than what he has now) will only aggravate the situation.

Assume that Putin's big-picture motives WRT to eastern Europe are to retain those states in the RU sphere so as to assure a market for RU exports. Since RU cannot really compete with western innovation and efficiency, they need to ensure that their eastern market states stick with the post-soviet gangster paradigm of government. If other eastern states respond to a UK invasion by turning to the West (and worse if NATO embraces them), that would be counter-productive.

He probably doesn't want to kick that hornet's nest just to ostensibly "save" a handful of ethnic Russians from UK oppression

 

6.225% profit share (PBP)

 

Council 63 recommends setting it aside as a strike fund.

i am sure they are doing this to make sure we don’t get any crazy ideas like asking for a better PS program.

It is nice however that they kept their promise that PBP still pays in bad times, but not as much as others in good times.

 

I guess when you consistently under pay your pilots, relative to the industry, it gives you a cushion to set aside some of those gains to pay out as profit sharing, even in bad times.

 

^^^^^^^ right there!

 

6.2% of 30% less pay for 30% more work.

 

Its all a game the companies play. Just like Delta giving the one time flat payment disguised as profit starting to keep the FAs from stepping out of line and unionizing.

We are late in learning to play this game but at least we are fighting now. See you all April 1.

 

6.225, what a joke.

 

Pilots will complain about anything

But not saying you're wrong.
