Alright guys. I've been out of the country with limited Internet access since early Monday morning so I need a summary of this past week. Multiple posts is fine. CHOP CHOP!!!! :D

But a lot of us aren't at the top of the category to do that.


Curious: How are you just now going to make what you made under the fNW contract where the payrates were considerably lower? Was it the time and a half over 80 thing? Different trip/duty rigs? I've never seen any numbers to back it up other than talking about time and a half over 80.

I was making in year 3 hourly on the 767/757 what the fNW contract had around year 9 or 10 for the 757.

But thats because my number one concern is a blonde hair blue eyed squeeze-a-muffin with not a care in the world watching Barney right now wanting me to kiss her bunny.

Well, I haven't read the negotiator's notepad, but the PWA seems pretty clear on it. Section 3 I for those interested. Sorry for interrupting the regularly scheduled wizzing match. :D

But as you said, you decide who's right.

There you go making stuff up again, Carl. Show me where I ever said that.

Then we'll let folks decide who's right!:p

Carl and everyone else in this thread,

What we need to do as a pilot group is unify. Unify, unify, unify! To that end I say, when we come to a fork in the road we take it. And not just nonchalantly, but boldly, mind you. So, no more will "ilk" be taking us down any road, whether it be northern ilk or southern ilk. No more ilk!

Scoop :)

And another thing. If anyone complains about me starting a sentence with a conjunction I will unleash my robotic Richard Simmons on em! :D

It wasn't slow it was sailingfun. In Carl's defense, I also get you guys mixed up a lot due to the similarity of your posts.

Ain't that the truth.
