I didn't say thats how it should be. I said thats how it is. Do you think I liked sitting on the airplane with a less than friendly captain stuck on a taxiway with 35 other aircraft waiting to takeoff? Do you think I liked sitting on an airplane for 4+ hours and getting paid for 24 minutes?
Thats the contract that we signed. Yes, I do realize that quite a few of us got on with Comair post-contract-negotiation. But as ALPA, we're supposed to think that we're a team, right? Our coworkers and union leaders fought long and hard for the contract that we work under. You may say "well I voted that contract down" well, too bad, its a democracy that we live in where the majority speaks for everyone. If you don't like it, work to get it changed, leave, or just be miserable but keep it to yourself. But if you're going to work to change it, be productive about it. Don't just sit and whine like too many of us do.
Sorry, rant over. Fire away.

Don't they say if you don't vote you can't complain? Well if you did vote then I think you have the right to complain. Rather then them not write it, you could just not read it?

Seriously, for all of you that have the times to leave an airline, do it. Don't make the same mistake I did and hang out for 9 years thinking it will get better. It never does.

Cessna, I have been cancelled before and got paid for the whole flight. Being displaced as a lineholder is great. I had one flight at LGA where we got type 1 deice and taxied out. Then is started snowing again and there was a long line....Long story short we taxied back got type 4 refuled and departed. I called the CP and since we didnt deplane the passengers we got paid for the whole thing. THey know you have to open the door to refuel. If you dont deplane then you should get paid.
