Pretty sure there's no such thing as a healthy pig slider in this universe... That said, I know the place and its pretty good.

Haha! I didn't say health food, I said healthy Hawaiian fast food(or something like that) as in comparison to the traditional stuff. :)

Thanks for all the reply's.

This is the very reason I keep coming back to this thread. "Everyone having the same interest in good times, good people, and good places."

Minus the occasional "doom & gloom", but we're all pilots right? :D

A safe and happy Independence Day holiday to everyone, whether you're working or attempting amateur pyrotechnics at home.

That makes no sense. You are assuming that the payroll remains static. It will be increasing. Some might more than others, but nobody will take a paycut.

My point is the payroll will not be any different because we want LGP. If the next contract would have brought a 10% increase, it will still be a 10% increase no matter what kind of pay we want.

So how do you sell it if some guys are going to get a 1% pay raise while others get a 15% pay raise. Do you really think something like that would pass a vote?

Further, how do you handle staffing as you shift to LGP? Do you rebid the entire airline? Cause a guy who is sitting junior reserve at a crappy crashpad at LGA is not going to want to stay there if his pay is the same either way. Again, for every pilot who gets a good deal someone else will get the shaft. A pilot who is junior in ATL but not commuting may well be forced to commute when that senior pilot who was commuting to LGA for the money decides to come home.

How far do you run out the pay scale? 20 years? 25 years? How do you set it up so a pilot gets a raise every year for 25 years without lowering the rates for years 1-12?

LGP creates more problems than it solves. It's a pipe dream for few lazy pilots who want 777 pay without having to commute to a base where the 777 is flown.

Ivar's Acre of clams on the pier has great food and a happy hour starting at 3pm every day. Great oyster shooters, clam chowder, fish tacos, crab cakes, and excellent beers. Highly recommended.

Go over to Kenmore and show your ID. If there's space they can get you a discounted ride up around the San Juan's in a float plane.

+1. Very inexpensive and delicious.

Ivar's has the best New England clam chowder too. It's my favorite place to eat lunch on the waterfront. (When friends are in town)

I forgot to mention you can do a tour of underground Seattle too.
