Guys:
Enough Blue on Blue!
Let's keep our eye on the ball. Yes, it blows that there are people who are benefiting while others aren't. Call them out. Yes, 4a2b bites. Somehow this will get worked out. We need to remember the precedent that has been set by the jackals/clowns pulling the financial strings on the other side. If they are so cavalier about conveniently hammering us on a portion of the contract (that we signed off on), we need to not forget this when it comes time for negotiating it away. There can be NO retreat in our negotiating goals. I want all that 4a2b money back.

A long time ago, I remember complaining about pay, schedule, or some other malady. The captain I was flying with told me how bad he had it, when I was still in diapers. I just finished a trip, and low and behold, my s/o was listening to me complain about how bad things are right now. Ironically, he was the one in diapers. We've come full circle.

Wait a minute....I'm confused. Were you flying with an over 60 S/O who was wearing diapers? And what's this about coming full circle. Are you saying you did a 360 and got the hell out of there? Just wondering.
