What I put up is a statement of fact. Expecting zero concessions is outside the envelope of all recent contracts. I have been reading these boards, and every pilot group highlights their concessions better than you or I can. All of them have concessions to talk about.

I suggest you re-read my post.


That is exactly what I am talking about. I never said anything about expecting a contract with zero concessions but since you seem to think that I did I will allow you to quote me.

Take your time. Hint - you can click on my name and it will bring up every post that I ever made. Please show the one where I say I expect zero concessions.

Thanks.

Yep...me too...I agree Doug

And I'll take a continually accruing sick bank with no limit like SWA has

And No sick verification like SWA has

And the Ability to call fatigued and not get hassled and paid for a trip like SWA has

And No PBS like SWA

I swear some of you...and you know who you are could try to point out holes in a boat built by Jesus himself.
Some of your veiled attempts are beyond pathetic. If SWA got a deal that gave them an 18% 401K, and a DOS 40% pay increase, some of you would still find ways to be a Debbie downer

They don't count it because it's a variable number that can't be predicted...just like they don't account for scope.

OK, I see where the problem is. I'm not attacking you in any way. I didn't say "You (Scoop) expect zero concessions, which makes you a giant boob", I said that if "you" (hypothetical you, meaning Scoop or anyone else) are holding out for zero concessions, you're falling outside the envelope.

Any group that expects not to give up anything at all is saying that they are going to do something else no one else has done. We can't simultaneously use the rest of the industry as an example, and not factor in the industry in our discussions.

So since there ARE gains and concessions, I think you have to know a lot about costing at each airline to evaluate the values of the respective TA's.

Glancing at the highlights at SWA, I can't really figure out exactly what they did to their Section1. They say it's better, but don't we all?


Ummm...... We just did a 2 yr extension with ...... 0 concession. But I guess UAL isn't in the industry?

Rumor has it that they sure spent a lot of time accounting for it on Friday.

I will agree that there is a bit of confusion as to exactly how to account for it by the various actors. I haven't heard any rumors as to how we, the company, or the NMB are specifically considering it.

Ok, then 8% above SWA. I bet however the NMB will consider PS since it is a part of getting a ratified agreement which is all they care about.

Well, I'm no expert on your contract, but I think there were 5 or 6 items the company wanted addressed, one of which was ultra long-haul flying. True, or false?

Sadly your extension came with pay rates lower then the TA we rejected.

1 item that was already in our contract that we said we wouldn't object. ULH. It's still there, just now they have to work with us and we can't veto before doing launch.

Yeah, I guess letting the company launch ULH without prior approval of ALPA for all 121 of our airframes that pay 305/hr was a concession.

Venture to guess what our most senior flying is?????
