The JCBA arbitration will place your pay and retirement a distant fifth amongst US passenger carrying airlines. Scope ,if at all, will be token at best.
Your new masters know that their current workforce posses neither the finances, the unity nor the sick-leave balances to impact their profit stream..Before they bought your work group they determined the same about you.
You may hear the blind and the uninformed proclaim that record profitability should lead to contract improvement....That may be true in full contract negotiations but you have no voice in this 3 item arbitration.
Brad and Ben will expect you yo be at work 15 to 17 days a month and fly the airplane from point A to point B when the door closes.
Alaska Airlines never nor will they ever place value on your commitment, your input or your engagement in their operation......

Yup I am pretty sure they shot it dead... Every major airline is hiring, go get that dream job. I hope I never have to fly with him. I actually really enjoy my job and think AS is a really good company. We will bump SWA to 4th on the pay scale soon enough!

Right...no chip eh?

No reading comprehension course needed to figure out you and that KLykiskit homeboy need some meds and probably oughta have your shavers and shoelaces taken away by the purser when you get to the hotel.

Mea...Where do you come up with this dream job shoot your dog stuff....
I am perfectly content working for a west coast "super-regional"...I have a good retirement called a pension that will pay me well for the rest of my life. My hourly compensation is at the top for the category of airline that I work for. I have only had to learn one jet and will retire off of the same one 29 years later...All I want out of the next contract is the ability to drop down to 60hrs after the monthly bid awards....That and COLA raises will make this a "dream" job for me....

I think he makes some good points and is being honest.

I think it is important to help the Virgin pilots see through the usual angle lake bs.....I could care less about outsiders looking in....The Virgin pilots are being force fed

Believe me....we might be "force fed" information 7 1/2 hours at a time. But this pilot group is made up from every defunct airline out there and several still in operation, most have been around this block several times. This is not our first show.

The seasoned perspective of both pilot groups, plus some assless chaps will keep everyone smiling.
