Ever get the feeling you are stuck in the belly of the ship, chained to an oar, listening to the constant drum beat, 'con-ces-sions', 'con-ces-sions'. While the guys running the ship are laughing all the way to the bank.

Guess we oughta give up that PS mip carve out, wouldn't want our top-notch execs being tempted to play the field.

 

There are no longer airlines, they are "Enterprises."

 

"Enterprises" nurtured by benevolent execs and damaged by pesky pilots.

 

"Enterprises" boldly go where no man has gone before.
When they arrive, they find out why not.

 

Hey...those Ritz-Carlton condos on Singer Island don't just pay for themselves...

Airline exec 3way.

Sounds kinky.

 

Not as salacious as Anthony Weiner sexting. But just imagine a dal 747 Captain being able to transfer his services directly to a ual 747 left seat with maybe a signing bonus? 'Climactic' end to a pilot career?

Too bad the only 'whoring' out available to us is Herndon. That does explain a lot, though.

 

That would go a long way toward establishing market based pay, benefits and work rules.

 

Negotiating that 'national seniority' would be a b*tch, eh.

 

Sure wish pilots could just hop over to a different airline that was willing to pay them more..
