I'm not going to negotiate with you on a public forum.

I would support one pay band: all DAL CAPT get paid $2,000/hr and FO's make $1,900/ hour. That should solve this problem.

I am a line pilot just like you. Nothing more. We are not negotiating. We are merely exchanging ideas. I want to be convinced that pay banding is this big terrible boogey man that everybody alleges it is, but I have yet to read anything concrete that defines it as so other than hyperbole and allegory. I get that it might reduce headcount, but I still believe that it will hardly be noticeable. Can I prove it? Nope. I believe that the growth we are about to experience will outstrip any compromise that this might entail.

And if FOs got a mere $100/hr less (5%) than CAs, at the rate you propose, the right seat will go ungodly senior.

I don't condone that particular identity game they play, but you and them are slowly turning into opposite sides of the same coin. Arguments for argument's sake are tiresome. Especially when you feign not understanding another person's argument, but aren't coming out with a clean point of your own. All you seem to do, is ask questions, and take issue with every answer you get, without taking ownership of an argument of your own.

Carl's game is clear: he wants to discredit anything ALPA, or certain people within ALPA, do. All you seem to want to do is to discredit Carl, or some other ALPA people. You, PD, Carl, and Jerry are occupying the C2015 thread for that purpose. Isn't that enough?

Fair enough. I am not sure what argument I am feigning not to understand though. I will keep contract discussions over there. I sincerely hoped that they could remain discussions however, not a bash fest. Guess I was wrong and naive in that regard.

Turns out he'd been fired from a job, multiple checkride failures and had been arrested by the DOJ for Immigration fraud. I was dumbfounded when I found out and felt betrayed. I called AK and explained the situation and apologized prophetically. AK thanked me for the update, appreciated my integrity for the tough call and succinctly said that person would be blacklisted from ever interviewing at DAL. I have since recommended 2 others who've both been selected. Had I not made the first call subsequent candidates that I wanted to recommend may have been tainted.

Doesn't OC's department control hiring now?

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to out your true identity. I'm simply saying that it's silly for you to be posting under this new identity. Why people think their writing style won't be noticed is always surprising.

Bring Tsquare back out of the closet!

Who cares if Tsquare went on a Bender calling himself Rodriguez. I just miss the pictures of the cheerleaders that Tsquare would post!!

After all we know those UT Cheerleaders are all "Volunteers"!!! :D:D

Please go back to the purple backpack!!!

I agree with you, but it's a good reminder that Michael Campbell is back. The retired Delta executive and former founding partner of Ford and Harrison has come out of retirement to "help" negotiate our new contract.

Tsquare is coming out of the closet? I don't believe it. No way. He had pictures of the hottest girls on here. At least half his age! :D
