The company will try to play the game of modest increase in rates lowering the rules - be mindful of that.
And if you think if we'd ever get these rates back - think WE should and WE can.
It will take a fight, which will only be harder if too many of us feel "how lucky they are to finally make it to the majors!"

I think we should all be prep'ed for a couple of NO's on the first TA's and maybe a little walking off the job.

P.S. Sorry, overheard an inmature conversation in a crew room and had to vent..

Rates go away as fast as the come, but scope give away's stay around for a very long time. Read the ENTIRE TA!!!

Heyas,

You have to remember that a lot of what gets posted from a certain crew is nothing more than "unofficial" crowd control.

Nu

Very true.

We are still bent over.
Certain participants are mainly here to provide a dab of Vaseline.

That was a very dark time and I'm glad it's behind us. The attitude towards us by the other employees was absolutely appalling. By far the worst thing I think I've ever seen in all of my career. I hope none of us ever see anything like that again. EVER.

Well......Bless his heart!!
