If you're "in your 50s, single, childless" and still can't afford it, perhaps you have other issues. Best wishes.[/QUOTE]
Hey my wife are I are now DINKS (kids all grown up) and we can't afford it. It's a bad deal all around. My imediate concern is how is this gonna play out to the company when the contract comes due. We just gonna roll over and die?

Apparently. Can't imagine the pilot group growing a spine in the next 4-6 years if we can't even throw back that POS LOA that we just swallowed.

Excuse me ... but when you want to refer to a weak, sniveling, "the sky is falling" weenie, who can't be bothered to read a proposed LOA for himself because he's too friggin' lazy, then call him what he is. GUTLESS - for sure. SPINELESS - obviously. NUTLESS - in spades. But it's an insult to your union sisters, especially those of us who have been very outspoken on the LOA issue, to call them "weak sisters". We, your union sisters who had to fight just to be accepted in this business, deserve better than that from you, our union brothers. Call them what they are -- WEAK [RICHARDS]. But NOT weak sisters. They can't touch us.

I believe most of the "Yes" voters who read the LOA were "scared" into voting "Yes" because they felt we didn't have any current leverage to get the company back to the table, and somehow believed the LOA would increase our "scope" and "lock up" the FDA flying for FEDEX pilots.
Great!
Glad to know this flying has now been "locked up" exclusively for us, by the strong scope verbiage in this LOA!
Now, I hope all of these folks lead us in using this "new leverage" in 2010 to fix the deficiencies in these FDAs....and don't want to hear anymore about the possibility the flying may be flown by "foreign pilots.", if we actually take a stand.
It will be very interesting to see the "new spin" generated during the next round of negogiations.
