I think he reads like a smart and articulate guy, maybe even has a good sense of humor. I think he laughs his a$$ off at the gullibility of people who believe him when he goes overboard. Which unfortunately is almost nonstop when there is a political angle involved.

Einstein a genius, yup, .....harwood...definately not...just a man with statistics to support one point of view. Statistics only matter in which the context they are applied. Time value of money does not take a genius to prove. Prove the relevance of time value of money as compare to how many green slips that can happen due to a pilot shortage and an fantastic PS pay check.
Expect a significant amount of push back if you do try and analyze the math in a TA.

I'll say it again: I'm going to let others decide what your words mean after they read them. As I have done.

Yeah, like this stuff here:

This guy has no clue of what's happening in negotiations, yet here he is.

How do you know what happened in the negotiations on May 20th?
I didn't see that in the update.

Apparently leaks are OK coming from one side but costly and destructive coming from the other side.

Agreed. This is starting to feel like a season of the Sopranos.

Well, why isn't the "Other Side" telling us their story?

NOBODY is refuting that the NC has already capitulated.

The last update read like they re-tweaked a couple items and then the TA is a done deal.

Fwiw, I expect it to be concessionary in the rumored areas. There's a little truth in everything.

Despite my disagreement with this approach, I'm a NO until I find the value to be a yes.

You mean you're going around unless you think it's safe to land.

Why would we give up mainline flying during record profits?

Normally, I would be against any scope concession. Right now though I don't think it's as big a deal. The regionals are short pilots. Instead of three 50 seaters, it takes fewer pilots to fly two 76 seaters. Even with a change like this I don't see us losing flying at the mainline.

I am more concerned with scope on the top end.

I will add if we don't do something to help the regionals cover their flying, there will be pressure on the FAA to raise the retirement age again. I sure as hell don't want that.
