I know....bizarre request, huh? Nu "You keep using that word - I don't think it means what you think it means." :D:D Scoop |

Call it PROFIT S-H-A-R-I-N-G. Not Guaranteed Pay. How about my union worrying about negotiating the COSTS of what the company needs to pay the pilot group. Not the at risk profit sharing (which is not a COST). I'm not an accountant, but my understanding is that if profits go up (thus Profit Sharing goes up), it's not resulting in greater costs for the company. Therefore, that's not a valid excuse as to why they can't match American. How come my union didn't bring up getting pay rate increases for "at risk compensation" before 2012, like say at the merger? OH, only when it's something someone else wants? Heck, I see their point of view--I kind of like those dollars too. So how about we leave that alone and work on the improving the rates that need work instead of chipping away at the part of the contract we're very pleased with? I know, I know....I don't understand how the system works. :D |

P.S. One of these times, these hooligans are actually going to succeed at hurting someone, either in the air or on the ground. |

Don't forget about the next prezzy...following her automatic nolo coronation from her party and lame stream media (same thing) lying about coming under sniper fire. :rolleyes: Or the new "lion" of the Senate lying about her ethnicity in order to scam her way through school. Although to her credit she was saying "you didn't build that" before the manchurian organizer was. :cool:

I think some here have no idea what you're referencing. These news stories and others on government scheming such as Jonathan Gruber aren't covered by the sources where some get their talking points, errrrr "news.":eek:

In any case, mamangement squeezes every ounce of productivity to the point of skirting the contract. And now they're coming after us for alleged sick "abuse" that they don't bother trying to prove. Not a good way to produce employees who want to go "above and beyond." |

I just read SD's memo, too. Where can I find the Pilot Activity Statement that compares my on time percentages to the rest of the group?

It's funny how this discussion started from someone expressing condolences to family of the Jordan pilot that was killed. ;)
