got it.

So what exactly is your proposal? To buy our own raises with profit sharing?

As Carl and others have stated, it's absolutely unacceptable to roll the PS giveaway into C15. Negotiate the contract first, vote on it, and after that, if the company wants to talk, well, ok. Given DALPA's history of solving the company's problems at the line pilots' expense, rolling PS into C15 will result in a fire sale for pennies on the dollar.

In fact, I don't see any reason whatever to even discuss PS concessions with the company until Feb 14, 2016.

Same for the AF/KLM impending violation. Don't wrap it up in C15 and call it a "win." It's a separate issue with a separate resolution.

The only reason (to have the PS negotiated separately) that I can think of would be the timing. If the company wanted a contract promptly, and another group was voting on a union, I would think any mention of PS modifications might spook said group into voting it in.

I imagine the IAM/FA vote will be settle well before we get a new contract, however.

It is my opinion that it is an idea that could possibly be of benefit to all of us, if structured correctly, so why not talk about it?

This is a place for all of us (except Lumberg, Jesse, and INAV8R?) to exchange ideas, to make suggestions and give opinions on how to improve our PWA, use scheduling techniques, movies to see, underboob to view, etc.

You have offered opinions plenty of times, and I enjoy reading them, and while we might not agree on things all the time, I appreciate them and don't accuse you of "pushing" or "forcing" them on anyone who reads the forum. I'd appreciate the same courtesy.

We're only talking about how we distribute already earned value, I'm not confusing it with a raise, I'm sorry for you if you are having trouble with that concept.
