What's with you anyway? You make assumptions about others and you "swung and missed". Get off your damn high horse already. If this is what you are doing in our negotiations, maybe it is time that we look at people who are more reasonable at the table negotiating for us. Just for your information, yes I'm on the ASA side.

Have you ever worked a non-aviation job? Have you ever had ANY job at all before your current one?
YES, when a cop, or teacher, or office worker, or restaurant worker, or most other blue collar workers, quit and get a new job, they go down in pay. That's actually pretty typical in the Real World. The only people who get to keep their pay longevity are trade unionists and executives.

So if all of these other careers are so great and they make so much more money and this job sucks so much.....Why are y'all still here? Obviously y'all have it all figured out, so maybe you should jump the fence for some of that green grass...Just a thought...

Well that's just the problem. Until ALL regional pilots stand united to demand higher pay and compensation, then we won't have the leverage to do that. Until the ability of the mainline carriers to whipsaw other regional airlines, which there are too many of, is taken away, we don't have the leverage.

I'm hearing it sucks from most LXJT pilots, and many of our pilots. So much so that I often hear from many, especially LXJT, that they would rather this place shut down and they would rather get a job at Walmart or McDonalds....Are you saying they are just being drama queens?

We fixed a lot of that in contract 98 and yes we negotiated partial reimbursement because that polled heavy after the first TA was shot down.
Any other axes to grind?
