I recall Sailing suggesting not long back that reps weren't pushing the idea of trading PS for pay increases, or at least questioning such reports. Well, the last two captains I've flown with (not ones for visiting online forums discussing airline stuff) said they heard the line from guys manning the ALPA table the past week repeatedly tout the line to the effect of "That pay is AT RISK COMPENSATION." This was just after the subject of PS came up...no prompting about ALPA reps required.
I for one am prepared to see that kind of stupid come out of our contract coordination.....errrrrrr negotiation with management. Which will receive a quick NO vote from this pilot. Well, ok, I'm a wh#re....I have my price: Unless it has a 100% rate increase and 5:15/day for vac & training.
Oh, and the last guy liked the galley coffee, so there's that.

The problem with sick leave harassment programs is they work on many pilots who's goal is to never meet a chief pilot.
Seems to me intimadating pilots into flying sick is frought with risk and unlimited liability. With Delta running like a Swiss watch and making billions and billions and billions why would they make this decision?
They may even succeed in reducing our sick leave in C2015, but will they make any friends?
We get 700% plus and you get CONCESSIONS!

The unionist in me thanks those guys for creating more jobs.

Yeah... can you imagine?? The oldest guys are actually getting sick during one of the worst flue seasons and biggest continuous chain of snow storms in a great many years!
Who would have thunk it?

I generally assume people who say the CIC should be brought up on treason charges are Fox lovers or Drudge readers. That is all.
The lefties wanted Bush 2 brought to trial for war crimes. They are looney tunes too.
