Amazon
So just saw the post about the Amazon flying. You figure they will need how many for 20 planes, average 9 pilots per plane? So 180 to start flying 2nd term 2016 and up to 2017 was it for implementation? So when would the next class start if they are taking May off? I'm kind of hoping to be in that one but would looooooove the heads up!

They simply cut and pasted sections straight out of our current CBA. THAT is not a negotiation. THAT is an insulting waste of our valuable time and a blatant delay tactic postponing any additional costs to the company and postponing any pay raises for us. It's a WIN-LOSE situation and they're going to play that hand for years if they can.
It's pretty difficult to figure out how to make things work when the other guy won't even show up to talk.

However, the twenty jets for Amazon will arrive (from a pie in the sky source!!) in stages, not all at once, and certainly not all by the end of this year. So, as much as I'd like to see our very qualified FOs get in the Left seat ASAP, it's not gonna happen overnight.
