I'm all for restoring our pay to pre 9/11 levels, especially in lieu of mgmt.'s massive increases, but we're in for a war if we expect 30-40% increases above our competitors. Not saying we shouldn't open there and fight like hell for it, but....

Don't believe every number thrown out there on an anonymous web board.

FM...you seem unable to comprehend or accept the vast majority of this group viewed the proposed deal... negotiated on the cusp of a 'downturn'..... was inferior to the deal we presently have.

So why the hurry to once again..... and as before at the urging of alpa operatives....cut our own throats?
Surely you mean inferior to the deal we DESERVE, not the deal we presently have...

That said, I would wait till the 2016 election is settled, if Bernie gets in, some pilots will see up to a 30% tax increase on take home pay, so that will have to be considered in the negotiation.
You do not believe it is even remotely possible that Bernie will "get in"do you?

Zero chance, Hillary has that locked up, although she should be locked up. On the Republican side, I think you will see Jeb re-enter at the convention if Trump can't get 1237. It is extremely likely there is going to be lots of rioting with this election.

Bwahahahahaha. Bernie lacks a certain "je ne sais qua" that Barack seemed to possess. No way Hillary goes down twice. Not for any man.
