I really don't care who has the biggest **** ******* (that was "bank account" just in case you were wondering). I only care that we are compensated properly and have opportunity for advancement. That's not happening now, and it needs to be corrected (a very large correction). Looking at SWA pay and scope is only a means to an end for us because it bolsters our case for the type of correction we need and should be able to expect.

I'm a competitive person, but I just don't see compensation as a competition. SHOW ME THE MONEY... and I don't care what anyone else makes.

Using that logic, I guess DALPA could also say,

"In fact the contract pilots demand is available today if the company were to offer it."

Sounds pretty silly, doesn't it?

News flash: the company won't offer it. DALPA is going to have to pony up, earn those cushy perks, and ruffle some feathers to produce results.

I say again: stop rolling over for the company and refusing to hold yourselves accountable for this ridiculous "constructive engagement." Or DALPA's gone.

I once owned a big watch when I was learning to fly though.

Are you satisfied with DALPA's status quo?

Im going to be selfish for a second here. As long as the next contract is able to afford me this "Cigarette Boat" and I am able to save for retirement, then I am a "YES" voter:D
