Yeah, I am trying to figure that out also.

When you figure out how to change it, let me know.

I didn't put a lot of time in coming up with 'casual observer'. I've tried to change it a couple of times, but I can't figure it out.

(I'm hoping to go with 'casual observer1').

Don't you know I'm having "stomach" problems?!?!?:o

I almost soiled myself!:mad:

That was funny right there!

So what?

If they present us with something that you don't like - which I would find hard to believe - :rolleyes: just vote no. It really is that simple.

Me neither.

Maybe RA and his pals were there to show the ALPA finance guys that with oil supplies at an 80 year high, no room left to store any of it, refiners planning on shutting down within weeks due to nowhere to put refined product, that the price is going to hit $20/bbl by the end of the year.

Honestly, I don't think there has EVER been a more perfect time to negotiate a contract. Even with oil at $100/bbl we made 4.5 Billion. With oil entering a sustained low price environment, that number is gonna look like chump change in 2017.

I suspect you will have a email this afternoon discussing why management was at the meeting.

Waiting for the "We can't afford to give you payrates like that" argument. "You see, fuel is our biggest expense and with the price coming down like it has we see an opportunity for huge stock price increases which combined with our stock options and bonuses will reap incredible windfalls for executives, so you must understand how we can't afford the payrates you're asking for."

Greenie question
 

If the G/S trigger is 75.00, and I have 71.00 hrs of credit, plus my 2-day sim, is that the same as meeting the trigger...or do I have to pick up a one-day trip? The line that says "credit applicable to Reg g/s pay" says 78.

Thanks!

No need to pick up....your GS is double pay for the entire amount.

Check your time card - it continuously updates your GS trigger. If in fact your trigger is 71 you can either withdraw 4 hours from the bank or WS a trip. Either will ensure your GS pays 200% for the whole trip.
