The more I think about it, the more I like the faithful wife analogy.

Now get this...he has been wasting money on this one special bimbo, Kristi, for 10 or 15 years.

Even worse, he has his sights set on a new stripper named Candy

Before the affairs started, the wife told management hubby "I'll only do it in three positions. Boeing, Airbus, and Douglas, and Douglas makes me sore. I used to let you pull a little Lockheed action, but that's when we were young and foolish."

"Don't even think of asking me to do any of that kinky stuff... Bombardier, Embraer, or heaven forbid DeHavilland. Eww that's nasty."

So hubby's off to Kristi because she's great at Bombardier, and anything flies with Candy.

The wife might want to set aside her dignity and bring the Bombardier and Embraer in-house. Let Kristi and Candy go mess with someone else's hubby.

It's just that when the pay was established on the 737N, it was high because of the contributions it made to the company bottom line.

Yes, Pinnacle (and Delta, since Delta agreed to pay the increased cost) did just enter into a new PWA in February 2012... and yes, they are now demanding that the new PWA be rejected.

At mainline we have enjoyed a benevolent attitude from management. However, we should view Comair and now Pinnacle as a measure of what (in some cases the same people) are capable of. IMHO, a regional who does not have its own code always runs this risk. None the less, my thoughts are with these fellow members of our union and it is hoped each and every one that needs a job, finds better than what they have now.
