Absolutely. Run it in the ground and sabatage the whole thing. Hope it all works out.

If by some chance whatever is left of this pilot group can grow up; get something worked out and move on. Keep the boat afloat a while longer, move on as so many of us have. Don't let a bunch of suckers who refuse to move on kill this airline so they can finally put themselves out of their misery.

Ba dee ba dee, that's all folks. Stay off guard!

No way.

And you've been around way too long to even think this.

We are paid by the hour. It needs to be an hourly wage.

If it's not we start working for free at some point.

No way, make em pay, they can afford everything we are asking.

??? How am I saying to sabotage anything? Simply saying why should all the guys that actually live in DTW and MSP start commuting to New York over the (junior) guys already commuting to New York instead commute to either DTW or MSP? While we may not be as rich as the coasties, there are still plenty of people left in the middle of this nation that want nothing to do with ocean front living....

I am going to suggest an idea to you.

Some of us actually like, and dare I say desire, being based in NYC.

The world is bigger than you and DTW.

Then go there. You'll keep your longevity.

This is true. There's a growing number of guys that actually live in the area and for commuters, what other base besides LGA can you walk from your crashpad to the terminal?

I've been around long enough to know that the company will never accept the union proposal. I'm senior in seat, so the union proposal benefits me, that's why I know it won't fly.

I would rather lock in the bonus, which will end soon, then deal with rates in the normal section 6 process. Tie our contract duration to the mainline contract schedule; No more of this 7 years @ 1% crap.

Wouldn't you rather fix the rates while supply and demand is on our side?

I've been around long enough to know it can turn at any time.

Regardless of how you're paid your total compensation is defined by the underlying market forces. If you "fix the rates" and then the market turns, if you try and keep your rates while everyone else lowers their pay to adjust for the new normal, well, you get to be the next Comair.

So by all means, go for the rates, or however else you think you should be paid, but don't kid yourself that locking in pay rates insulates you from economic downturn.
