Pretty sure this is how the conversation went. Except that he used the phrase "pulling levers" somewhere in there.

Did they forget to send out a bid pack or did I just get fired and don't know it yet?

PH is like the John Gotti of crew planning, a real teflon don. He appears momentarily, then we email, then he slips back into darkness

Or you could let them fall behind their target just like when they added the $17,500 bonus/ upped the hourly rate. Let them increase everyone's pay, possibly offering to go early section 6 or something else the union might agree to.

You just did the math, for every 10 pilots they can afford to pay an additional $185,000. Why not let them get behind so that they're forced to pay on par with 9E rates, or better?

Knowing this puts Compass pilots in a very strong position to negotiate.

At this point we would require an LOA for an increase in pay right? When's the next union contract renewal? If it's after the supposed Delta/American contract the company could threaten that pay raises would cause us to not be able to renew the flying contracts. If we were to ask for a pay raise now I'm pretty sure it'd have to be pretty quick with an LOA and I'm sure ALPA is busy with the grievances. Not sure if that's how it works though.

If it means anything, we did put about 40 guys into class for Jan! Those are ones that actually showed up too.

In other news Republic just sent an email about more planes and a westward base Q2 apparently. Hmmm...
