To try to get the thread back on topic....
It makes sense to me for someone in management to say they want a contact before amendable date.
I’m sure they are cognizant of Ed saying “no contract this year” + the anti-union/ buy an Xbox situation going on right now = bad optics for the company...especially if we don’t get a contact and the NMB gets involved.

I guess it depends on personal philosophy. I tend to lean towards your outlook on the Captain/First Officer relationship. Some guys need that superiority and level of accomplishment in order to feel personal gratification. You don’t and neither do I but some guys require that. Captains and First Officers are just cogs in the system, each cog has a purpose.
It’s similar to the relationship between being a pilot and being a “Delta pilot”. “Through these doors walk the best pilots in the world” is the banner in the JFK crew room....compared to who, Qantas? Don’t get me wrong, Delta is my dream job but we aren’t even close.

I agree with you. Ed's comment could imply the company is not bargaining in good faith. I don't believe the company wants a deal before the amendable date. I think this is more in response to our chairman's update. Don't read too much into these letters. They don't mean much in the big picture.

That’s what the list says, but when he flies, which is rare, it’s as an A and the company requires him to fly with a LCA (so I’ve heard). That’s all about liability supposedly. The company knows the optics of the situation should he be operating a flight that bent metal.

Simply smart business to wrap up C2019 on time.
Time will tell.

Someone posted on SkyHub/Net a pic of him doing a cabin announcement which clearly showed 4 bars.

What are they looking for with this info? Are they looking for guys who fly slow on every leg but the last?
I heard we had a guy that flew around at .74 Mach on every leg of his trips except the last leg to base, where he did .80-.81. He got called on the carpet to explain after he was discovered by MGT and they looked at his history.
