Not only that, but they referred to ALPA pilots as "scabs" because we supported the merger and got stock, pay increases, and more benefits from the merger agreement. Scabs. Enough said about that group.

So the "November Short-Calls" link in the Crew Sked page now has planned short-call times and numbers of pilots for the bases. Interesting. Wonder if they'll stick to them.

So I guess you think the pay raise resolution that is passing thru the various LECs is doomed as well?

Its been covered before but there is little chance of success. The company is not going to give out pay free pay raises to the pilot group not spelled out in the contract. In fact its doubtful the company would even meet to discuss the issue. Any changes will have to come with the new contract 4 or 5 years from now.

The only chance to effect a chance would be if the company got in a bind with a operational need that conflicts with the current contract. If that were to occur then they might be willing to trade the pay rates. That is also somewhat unlikely as most of those type issues have been worked out and it would have to be something with a like dollar value.

BK needs to be let nowhere near the chairman's seat. NEVER forget his article on scope.

AR, since you are not a FA (as far as I know), nor am I, but thats a pretty big statement concerning AFA. Like you have requested of other people on this board, would you mind providing the proof that AFA has called us scabs...have not seen it or heard it. Are you close to an AFA flight attendant that you can claim that they do not put the money into the hands of the people they represent.
