Saw the same thing on several areas that I really am not super concerned with, and might have allowed slight decreases in benefits to in order to gain scope and pay... but the contract answers didn't offer me that choice. It appeared to me that the survey was written by SLI-type guys with an agenda to ensure their pay and work-rules were increased, and one-sided questions were disproportionately placed in the survey to ensure that answer was received.
I'm not the most educated guy here on the contract, despite reading all the material I've been sent and a lot here, and it's possible all the scope issues were well covered by the survey... but it sure SEEMED to me that there were more questions on SLI stuff applicable only to a small fraction, and we could have stood to have some questions specifically on AK, specifically on the AF JV, specifically on bases, specifically on positive space for commutes, on putting DAL pilots on equal footing for DCI non-rev to/from work or even giving us priority, on allowing DAL pilots to book the JS for DCI. This stuff is vastly more important to me, and I'd bet to a much larger fraction of the pilot list (who commute or think they MIGHT commute some time in the future, i.e. nearly everyone!), than the SLI list. And YES, I could write all all this into text boxes, but questions should have been asked on this instead.

I guess that maybe you should be the only pilot to take the survey since anything that is not important to you shouldn't be important to anyone. I guess that you are willing to give up in order to get. Where do you sit on the seniority list? Are you towards the bottom? Do you think it would be ok for those senior to you want to take from you in order to get something that is important to them? I noticed 2 questions that related to SLI pay vs. 15 on job security and you think that it was written by some SLI that wants to protect something. :rolleyes:

Agreed. When I took the survey, I did it with the perspective of what would be good for the group as a whole. Of course there are parts of the contract that will not effect you, but that does not mean that you should want to sell them.

Since this is "what I'm all about" I better live up to the expectations ;-)

AS 3Q results:
Alaska Air Group Reports Record Adjusted Third Quarter Results

Hilites:
  • Record third quarter income, $131.1 million, compared to $118.1 million q3 2010.
  • Revenues improved by 12 percent with record load factors and higher yields in each month of the quarter, more than offsetting the 41 percent increase in economic fuel costs.
  • Non-fuel unit costs declined by 2.6 percent.
  • Improved employee productivity by 3.8 percent compared to Q3 2010.
  • Adjusted debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 61 percent, lowest level on record.
  • Twelve-month return on invested capital of 12 percent.
  • Capacity (ASM) +6.0%
  • Traffic (RPM) +8.2%
  • Operating Revenue per ASM (RASM) +6.8%
  • Regional ASM -4.5%

Since someone will invariable bring it up:
All furloughed offered a class date
Hiring 300+
Adding jets to the fleet

None of this at Alaska were possible at this level without the partnership of Delta Air Lines

Can we say the same?
Are our reps aware of this?
What do they say?

Ask them!

Cheers

Now can the guys kneecap that supposedly cancer ridden piece of human excrement that Qadaffi Duck welcomed back with a hero's parade? Or will the next crew of anti America clowns keep him on the pedestal too?
