To me you're just working more (not taking vacation) to get paid more, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. The opportunity cost of floating is more time working. Glad I can live on 60 hours a month if I have too. And probably 20 to 30 when I'm at SB's seniority.

It has nothing to do with $40,000. It has to do with standing together as a union. I am very disappointed in you.

BOD decision made with no review of the data supporting the 'no float' call. $40,000 decision. Welcome to APA logic

Lame bro, so lame!

Hahahaha! *YOU* show what's wrong with the LAA attitude! *YOUR* answer shows that switching unions will not change one d@mn thing with AA! We were waiting a couple of days for this answer? Classic!

Folks, please save this reply. This should be a constant reminder that those senior guys *ONLY* think about themselves and they are willing to throw you under the bus!

But his calculations showed it was an ineffective Ponzi scheme!

Which translates into....?

Me. Me. Me. Me.

Or is it an attempt to brag about a profit-sharing like payout to DL and UA pilots?

He probably wears his APA "UNITY" tag with pride!

Exactly. All about greed. I floated and cashed out 14 days from last year. I'm looking forward to that payment next check.

But unlike slice when my union asked something of me I didn't hesitate to bid all my vacation this year. But it's prob hard to live on $300/hr, they take out so much in taxes!!!

So that's why we should always give them the benefit of doubt before slamming them.

Do you see it now, AA73? Our current problems are not easily resolved by *just* switching unions. The above exemplifies an attitude problem at AA and unfortunately APA. (Please, let's not get distracted that LUS has less than LAWA than ex-TWA, Reno, Trump shuttle etc.)

Everybody has his or her right to exercise the freedom in our contract, but it is no justification for selfishness, let alone making up some weird excuse.

@Slice: Be a man and admit that you are greedy. Don't give us this bullocks about a Ponzi scheme.

Wow. What an idiot. Is there an ignore function?

mainlineAF 01-27-2017 07:30 AM

Slice I think it's clear no one gives a f what you say anymore. At least be a man and say you threw your brothers under the bus for a couple extra bucks.

Unfortunately for the rest of us you don't retire until after 2020. Looking forward to your idiotic ramblings about why we need to take the money now!!!!!
