That wow moment
 

Has anybody had that wow moment where you were excited about something we got? I've had more than a few where I said I can't believe the company got that. I feel underwhelmed at this point.

Yup. :confused:

Yep. The more I read, the more it depresses me. What are we doing?!?!

How about this WOW moment?
 

Last month we found out that we were improperly shipping (carrying on our airplanes!) LIVE BIO-TERROR GERMS!

Now there's a missing RADIOACTIVE shipment?

Radioactive material sent to Texas A & M goes missing - CBS News

Maybe this is why we should be paid better than the pax carrying folks?

Looking over this TA I am really beginning to see where this is probably a big net positive for the Company. POP changes, intercontinental DH changes, crap retirement increases and much more.

I believe they really think we are fools, which we are. It reminds me of going into 580 Nanjing in PVG with a new guy to Asia. He wants to buy something and when he gets it for 5% less than was offered he thinks he got a good deal.

Not everyone here is like that. But enough to allow the 50%+1 vote on a TA. We should all read the dang TA and honestly ask if it compensates us appropriately. Not ask is it the best we can get, etc. Lets act like vertebrates.

I had my wow moment yesterday, when I realized the NC is smoking crack, the company is in the process if ****ing us and doesn't give a ****, and I realized my dream job is now a nightmare.

My wow moment was---as I read each section I began to realize there are so many concessions or items that remain status quo ( or very very little improvement)--- all for a MERE COLA!!!!! My additional WOW was realizing so many of us are actually HAPPY or RELIEVED when a section or item didn't DEGRADE! After 4+ years of negotiations and record profits ---COLA, concessions, or status quo ( WOW)

Yup, that's where we are the days. We accept marginalization, and don't respect ourselves or our profession. The company certainly doesn't.

It's public math and I could be wrong, but let's go with it.
Assume 15 yr W/B Capt, 1,000 CH per year, and that 'normal' 3% raise each year:
So 3% per year would be $291.18 or 12% of current book. That means there's a perpetual 2% deficit :mad:.
And notice that the $35K 'bonus' would only cover next year's deficit of $4,510 :eek:.

My "wow" moment is reading posts here.
