Brand new, unprecedented, exciting technology coming soon to a 737 near you:






A Hot Mic

Really? When? Do you still have to get the "adapter" from around the morning newspaper?

Yes. This right here!

It is not a matter a matter of pilots saying no to everything the company wants merely to be adversarial. The company wanted us to take a concessions laden TA. We voted no. We are in section 6 and almost anything that is outside status quo is a violation.

The company has been dealing with this issue, for more than a few years now at the current manning, and they have managed. We did not accept their OE carve out and suddenly they start doing this?

At some point we have to stop being so amenable to any change they want simply to go along. They want something? So do we. We want a fair contract.

I'll give up the LVP in exchange for no OE trip pulls in TA2.

The future -900s delivered will have it installed. Tech ops is "reviewing" a fleet wide modification. BTW, this is not new from Boeing. All the Southwest NGs have hot mics.

Ok, who's going to convince the necessary number of guys to be LCA? 2% in NYC 717 that has constant turnover isn't going to cut it. You can't have it both ways. Don't just b!tch about the problem unless you bring a solution to the discussion.

I think that you miss the point. We are in section 6. Neither side should be able to violate status quo. I did not advocate no negotiations.

Here's the solution: pay them a higher override. Problem solved. The company needs to address its problems within the confines of the RLA. Waldo, do you understand the concept of status quo?

Now when are we going to hear something from Malone acknowledging all these status quo violations?
