it’s actually a reference to their new paint and its similarity to the corporate colors of the chain Hotdog-On-A-Stick

My taxi speed is insane. Nobody taxis faster than me. I use only ground speed in this calculation. Not gusts from b757 jet blast. Taxiing with tegridy.

Hahaha. I’ll never forget one of your pilots (DAL) getting on my case in 2009 about my taxi speed on the Victor loop in the Ahhh Teeee Elllll.

So … your point is? Rush a contract and take lower than we deserve?

Absolutely not. But they are in fact getting our labor at a huge discount. Don't think they're overly upset it got voted down.

As it has been mentioned previously, it's only a discount if we're stupid enough to agree to anything without retro. That is also a hill I'm willing to die on. I've left from one carrier that spent over a decade working on reaching a TA, to another going on over 3 years past amendable, this needs to be accounted for.

Did you get full retro? Can anyone cite an instance where full retro was achieved 3 years plus beyond the amendable date? How about 4 years? If not, there has to be a better reason than those pilot groups didn’t want it bad enough.

I don’t prescribe one way or another without the overall context of an agreement to look at. We could have full retro with small increases in the outlying years or less retro and more later. But, I think the above question should be asked and then answered. If yes, what did the pilot group do to achieve the result? If no, why hasn’t it happened before?
