For a corporation that craves a premium brand image, I’m blown away if they truly feel we can maintain our momentum with 3500 or more fewer pilots. Not even the sodomizer can be that good... GP |

There was an 88 FO a couple years ago who made well over 400. Commuted too, and didn't work much harder than the average high ALV lineholder or junior/hammered reserve. Buddy bid drop your whole line with pay, get 3 or 4 regular GS trips. Boom, triple pay while not working any harder than your original schedule.

Does the PWA specifically allow this, either in published language or lack thereof?
GP I would look down the road, and apply the same gun that SWA put to the heads of the AirTran guys. At some point there will be a downturn in the economy... poor mouth will be cried... flying shifted to ensure survival.... done. It's a process. Look at it another way. Do you think the airline industry is in it's final form forever and ever? What do you think is the next step? If it is global consolidation, which do you think will happen: Virgin (for example) gets our pay rates and we get their health bennies? Or will the company (whaever it is called) starts shifting costs to the most cost effective points? It's mostly a thought exercise at this point, but I would wager that the industry is not in it's final form. Your opinion may differ. |

naaaaaaah I'll bet the numbers would be negligible, especially with all the guys that say they are leaving at 55.
In other words they don't really mean it, but love to hear themselves say it. |

GP I am not sure that everyone comprehends that the big credit reduction is simply bringing credit back to 2012 levels and is like a 1.2% reduction. There is no more blood in the turnip! |

I think the number of guys claiming they'll leave at 55 is akin to those who always make sure you know that "I have a business and this flying gig is just a hobby."
