I don't understand why you're not more angry about the insult from the company. They have basically just told you that you are worth less than half of what an endeavor pilot is worth. In addition to that, if they would stop manipulating the reserves and restore critical pay, you would probably be making more than $2,500 per quarter anyway. They basically tried to bribe you with money they took out of your pocket.

Also this move is good for your advancement. I think a lot of captains who made have been waiting for the flow (or more likely Delta or United) under the false assumption that things may eventually improve here are now strongly considering a move to spirit,jetblue, frontier or southwest.

With the exception those FOs that live in base I can't for the life of me understand why any FO with less than a year in this company is still here.

I'll be impressed with this MEC come June when they give the company another **** you by rejecting flow agreements.

If we keep making it hard for them they will just make us hurt. We don't have near as much leverage as we think we do. We can either take consistent small gains or suffer for a long time and eventually get a decent contract. Upgrades are gone anyone hired in the last year got screwed.

You said right after that that you don't think they will reach an agreement so why make the FOs suffer if the company won't make an agreement?
