I just flew with a FNW pilot and asked him about this. He used to be on the 747-400 and flew with all of the senior guys. Anyways, he indicated that the red book / green book hatred runs pretty deep. I guess that the green book guys are just getting on the 747 (or within the last few years) and are staying around (despite almost working for free because of their retirements) hoping to block the red book guys off the 747 until the DL/NW fences fall in four years so that the former Delta guys can bid the airplane and keep the old red book guys out of it.
At least that's how he explained it. Nothing like working for free just out of spite.

Gents,
Lets not ask for increasing any hours in any way. 75 hours for reserve sounds good, but let’s not give any ideas that we can work more. Big part of deterioration of our profession is that pilots everywhere have to fly more to make ends meet and run companies understaffed. Too many people are overworked and half depressed.
I think we should ask for 60 hour line guarantee and 65 hour reserve pay with doubling our hourly rates.
Not to forget the main point of any new contract: RULES and more important than rates.

Well I was hoping for a green slip tomorrow.... The snowplows won't even plow.... But my diesel deere plowed right thru 18" of snow and my 530 ft. long driveway. I don't think my rear wheel drive wagon will get me to work...

It was sunny and 70 deg in Texas today. I just grilled steaks outside. Think we'll sleep with the windows open tonight. I'm forgetting I even have a job.
