Think 15% total over 4 years not per year, but we all know that would never even get considered…..

 

I will have no problem voting no to anything that even smacks of what's being discussed over there. I don't expect anything less than 'historic', and if it doesn't meet the smell test, it's going in the can. Mine is but one vote however...

No concessions, big raise, better work rules.

 

Agree 100%. The rumors over there must be company leaked to lower expectations because if even a few are true there is no way it will ever pass memory rat.

Scoop

 

Vote no all you want. You'll end up getting what an arbitrator decides is best, not what you want. A judge will give you "average", not "historic".

 

I can only shake my head at what I've read over there. I'm not even sure it's not just some pot-stirring by a few people. Anyway, I couldn't care less. This business, this industry, this company is ludicrously profitable. What do you think Goldman-Sachs or JP Morgan pays their people in the 'up' years? I will hang my head in shame if we don't capitalize on this opportunity. I truly will. If we can't share in the boom times, then why even do this? You know when things get tough again, we'll get another haircut. It's not like it's anything like it used to be anyway. Domestic trips are insanely tiring and subject to reroutes. The flying itself is way more involved, all the VNAV crap and heads down time, programming and 'it's on you' clearances with multiple speed interventions and runway changes, guaranteed wake turbulence encounters because of reduced spacing. Hey, what more can we do for you???!!! International flying is still pretty good, but if it won't pay, it's not worth the damage to your body.

 

You can bet I will!

And I don't need a judge to get 'average', that's already in the contract. As is my profit sharing. Don't touch.

 

I just found the Golden Day language, if anyone's interested ...

For a while, we also had the St. Francis in SFO. You knew a hotel was above our normal standard when the dining room was so expensive that no pilot would eat there.

 

Yep. That one I forgot to include. Also the Westgate in San Diego. There's a great Cary Grant film that was shot at the St. Francis.

 

At my HS in CT, Lacrosse was bigger and more important than football, soccer, baseball, basketball, etc. I never played but loved watching it.
