1234,

Believe it or not, I don't come on here to fight. (I do like to ask questions though.) If your post wasn't anything more than an observation, I apologize.

The part that got me was the NWA pilots being giddy about the 6 short calls part. But, in the big scheme of things, it's no biggie. If that's how you feel, that's how you feel. Sorry again.

Ouch............

Making your way through the thread a little slower than normal, huh ts? ;)

OK.. so they shrink... and that's not good... why? We don't want them doing our flying.. absolutely, but somehow I get the feeling that when ya'll insist on discounting these rations that you would rather that whatever RJ flying they DO have is done at whatever level the company chooses. I don't get this line of reasoning at all.

I had a lot of spackler BS to wade thru. And apology or no, hockey is still an ass for that comment.

It really wasn't anything more than an observation. Sorry if I hit a nerve, I wasn't trying.

Hey, I was one of those giddy reserve guys thinking that it was going to be a good deal. Then I realized that some months we had the same thing at NWA. Months when we flew a lot, I was only on short call maybe 2 times in a month because I always got assigned a trip prior to ever even getting on short call, or if I was on short call, I would get called out for a 5 day thus using up a bunch of my reserve days. It is funny how while something may be perceived as a good deal can turn out to be nothing different than what you have (the whole grass is greener on the other side).

I think that we are all getting a little punchy with the constant talking about this TA and constant arguing with each other. I guess that I really need to just step back, take and take a break from this place as it seems like 90% of the discussions aren't worth it.

Plus, there hasn't been any underboob for a long time.

Good night.

And you're ok with 1% DC increase?

It was a bad comment. If I had a book, I would close it, so I could spend more time figuring out this TA.

You can leave it open if you want, but I think most have forgiven him.

It's not that it's not good a good thing to put some shrinkage toward DCI... but we will continue to see stagnation due to work rule givebacks on this contract and replacement but not growth aircraft. On top of that giving away 70 more mainline replacement aircraft to DCI...

We fell way short of the mark on this TA.

1234,

I found myself in the same position for a few months myself. Hopefully, we get all that stuff worked out.

If not, there is always underboob to make us feel better. :D
