I did not know that. Where and when did each of them utter those exact words?

 

So Alan, you chose to ignore the rest of my post which was entirely about the outrageous insinuation that Lee never really wanted to be ALPA President (then why the hell did he run for it?) and that he only did so "out of a sense of duty"? YGBSM. You must agree with this nonsense or you would've addressed it directly. Instead you pulled one snippet out of my post and attempted, mightily unsuccessfully I might add, to refute it.

Whether the Donald made $1.3m or $1,278,848 is trivial. The point is he is FAR better off than any of the peons (us) he's supposed to represent.

 

Clamp has now asked this question three times. Alfaromeo dodged it twice, and you did your standard answering by asking other questions. Do you care to actually answer the question?

Timbo, what you are proposing would meet with a significant pushback from a lot of your fellow pilots. One of the things I liked about our contract was the flexibility it offered, if I wanted more pay I could use the system to fly more, or, I could use the system to fly as little as possible. Another point is that the company has a limit to what they are going to pay in C2015, the pie is only so big before the Company says NO. That is an economic reality so the question is how to divide the pie. What you propose would eat up a large portion of the pie and would take money away from a large portion of your fellow pilots. Your proposals are popular but I think they would meet with a lot of pushback. Just my opinion
I have heard from very reliable sources that the Company is very upset with sick leave usage, I.e April and May see significantly higher sick time usage than other months. Not casting dispersion on my former teammates but it isn't a coincidence that the bank gets reloaded in June. They are also looking for a way to mitigate training and pay banding is at the top of the list.
Whatever the outcome I will be rooting for my Bro's from the sidelines

 

Go Alan, Go Alan, Go Alan, Go!

 

Now you're just being stubborn Alan. You were wrong to attack index when you didn't know what you were talking about. We all have to play by the same rules. IRS rules. Lee's taxable income from ALPA was 1.3 million.

As of August 2014:
$265,841 salary
$16,000 taxable per diem
$178,739 for RSP and vacation cash-out


He's on track to earn in normal earnings:
$398,911 in wages
$24k in taxable perdiem (which isn't income, as we all like to say about our per diem)
Plus his cashed out vacation and RSP

I know a DAL M88 CA who made more than that in 2013 (and still didn't work as hard as the ALPA Pres.)

 

Carl again reverts to name calling. Seems to be his personality. Please Carl post the total block hour costs for pilots in the US airline industry in 2013.

 

I don't know how long this "slowdown" has been going on, but if it hasn't started in the last week or so, I think it's a great great thing. As an investor, it has done nothing but drive the stock price up.

Disclaimer: I only own puts and calls on LUV, but they are ALL in the money, so thanks SWAPA.

 

Interesting new tactic here. Even though the articles and links to those articles were posted here many times, you've decided to wait 2.5 years then claim those words were never used. I've told you before I won't spend one second finding posts from 2.5 years ago. Most everyone here remembers the articles and the exact phrase of "cost neutral" used by Richard and Ed to describe TA2012. The DALPA road shows even had to address the cost neutral statement because Richard and Ed made it before the vote had even happened yet.

But again, I think it's important for you to keep these tactics up. It educates people on what we're up against here.
