Sorry I don't follow your narrow views like the majority on here. And yes, I am wiser.

The ego!

Funniest part of this post is the boomers on JF who can't get their internet to work...

Inflation adjusted pay should not require ANY give-backs, it is merely a change in the cost of doing business (inherent throughout the entire economy) that is already being reflected in shipping rate increases. It is not our responsibility to subsidize the end product. The AVERAGE wage increase in the US since our last raise is 25.19% according to the Social Security Administration. The average worker did not endure what we did to generate record profits for their employer during that period. Unless we get significantly more than 25.19%, there is absolutely nothing to "horse trade" over. How is this lost on you?

Let the company tell the mediator that costs have gone up and should therefore be absorbed by the flight crews. To use your words, "Float that by the mediator". You sir, are the inherent problem with collective bargaining.

I’m convinced Stan446 isn’t a seniority list pilot. The poster has too much fun stirring the pot and going against.. you know.. basic fundamental knowledge of everything that is good for our group. They are a troll on the outside looking in. Don’t bother trying to reason or argue with them because it’s futile.

Not everyone is bitter and angry like the minority here. Stirring the pot, hardly, contrary opinion yes. You won't see anything but the same angry posters here and you hate it when someone doesn't agree with you. Yep, try the discredit thing by saying I'm not a FX pilot.

Hey Stan, why don't you address why your orginal reaction to the TA was "our negotiating committee threw us under the bus again"? Thanks!

Nope, never flew with the doucher, but he's way famous around these parts. Flew with good ol' Capt Savage on multiple airplanes and didn't put up with his crap at all. My statement had nothing to do with greed nor am I bitter. I was simply pointing out that the seniority abrogation that the student lines proposal represents would never fly around here if it also impacted Captains. Just an observation about the tribal nature of our Union and our NC. Since FedEx made billions with a 'b' during Covid, has bought back billions in stock, has dramatically raised shipping rates since our last contract expired, well I don't think it's a hard sell that we deserve AT LEAST inflation adjusted pay rate increases and probably a little something extra.

So you define yourself as happy?

I agree that student lines are a bit of a concession. But can you see how getting paid 100% for not working can bother the company a bit. One of managements main focuses in this negotiation is to not pay guys for not working. Maybe not working contributes to your screen name MediocrePilot.
