Interesting that he made that comment considering the discussion we've had over the last couple days.

The reporter asked them directly "How are you going to afford that new pilot sontract?".

They start talking about the scope relief, increased productivity, etc. etc.
All the givebacks they got from the pilots.

Ed pipes in and says flat out we can afford it because we rIeduced the profit sharing.

I believe the memo to pilots actually contained the term "Forbidden"

So they won't admit it from the negotiations survey, but will in the rotation survey:

• For all fleets, average daily credit and trip length were by far the two highest pilot priorities.

Why this wasn't a priority during negotiations is still beyond me!

Come on, we all know that's what we -really- wanted, we just forgot to put it in our survey answers! :rolleyes:

Even if Ed rolled all the profit sharing savings from the non-contract personnel into our pay, it doesn't cover the increase.
