Off the deep end and no point to his rhetoric.

My wife and I went the first night it played here in LA. At the end, it was completely quiet. Lots of people sniffling and wiping tears out if their eyes. Most dramatic ending to a movie I can remember.

I agree with you that all contract items are at risk. After that, you're playing cute. You're focused on the vocabulary, and not the intent.

To classify hourly rates as being as much at risk as profit sharing payouts is disingenuous. Changes to our pay rates require negotiation, agreement, and ratification by all of us. A zero profit sharing payout only requires a loss of profit. That situation could be triggered by a number of events.

Maybe the term "at risk" is a poor one. There needs to be a better way to express the varying degrees of vulnerability. I don't have one, but I understand the difference. You do too.

Is that the only way our pay rates can be changed? Negotiation? No other scenario could result in lower pay rates?

Profit Sharing and Sick Leave - we are working ourselves into a tizzy. Had a TNG DEPT guy on the JS who said that during the meeting with RA they had (2 weeks ago) he flat out said PS is not going to be touched. So why are we upset? If we think our reps feel otherwise then communicate and make our voices heard...recall them....or vote NO on a POS TA!

SLOA - funny thing - Delta is screaming that we have a problem, but every minute over 100 hrs requires verification. So yes....we do...we have a lot of SICK people evidently. Maybe they can tighten the rules on verification so folks don't get online fake Dr notes? Or maybe they can keep hiring so we have reserves and aren't flying 80-90 hrs/mo.

Just my $.02 rant over. Back to nursing my 2 sick girls.

You're being cute, too. But, yes. Many years ago our pay rates went down without a ratification vote. And before you were hired they went up several times without being ratified. You can allege anything, I suppose, but you know that within the context of the "risk" to profit sharing and pay rates, one of them does not require our consent to be worthless.
