Of course, we could use the DPA ideals, say no and follow the APA model.

Dont worry. For the past 3 months all of my bid award results were completely different than my icrew "auto-populated schedule". My PBS bids closely matched the icrew screen.:confused:

The Bid Award page was completely opposite of what I wanted. Good thing the icrew page is official.:)

Can you point me to where DPA (or anyone else) has said we should "just say no" and follow the APA model? I must have missed that. Thanks.

Well than you need to explain your last rant on me because I can read that no other way.

If you are gonna hang your hat entirely on that, you will be sorely disappointed, I don't care who is negotiating the contract.

Razor,

Most importantly, I wish you the best in your recovery and return to the line. I appreciate you sharing your story for the benefit of others.

As a point of clarification, it is not technically correct that you can only get DPMA 2 times in your career. DPMA was a maximum lifetime benefit of 2 years. An individual event is capped at 1 year of benefits. If you only used 6 months of DPMA for an event, you would still have 18 months of benefits available over the remainder of your career.

Over the course of a career, a pilot could have 2 events of 1 year each, 24 events of 1 month each or anything in between.

And if we fail to recognize that we've already given up a tremendous amount with pennies on the dollar in return, we won't be disappointed? C'mon, man. I guess I don't see what you are advocating for, other than the status quo, which is costing us a great deal of money in lost wages/compensation.

Exactly. I figure the average MD88/90 Captain will have lost about $1 million in pay from 2005 to 2015. And nobody (including myself) is asking to be repaid for that. We're just asking to have our pay restored going forward. Especially in light of our company's success, I think that's more than reasonable!
