Indeed. The healthcare cost doesn't scare me, and I'm lucky enough to live in a state with no income tax and low property tax. I'm really just looking for a little stability out of it for the next 5-10 years, if it comes to it. If there is a merger, and I get stuck as a captain at the 12 year cap, I won't hide in my room forever over making $90-95,000+ per year. I can always apply elsewhere if it isn't looking well here for the flow. I'll tell you something, if we don't approve this PDT will die off anyway, because people will be jumping ship like its the Titanic. Either way, we may never be able to staff it. It's a Catch 22, so we might as well go for it.

Okay so you are basing that on the assumption that 175s are coming to PDT and you will be a line holding captain. Thanks, appreciate the response.

The more you type I think the more PDT people want to vote yes for this TA.
Save all your typing for after the vote. It's passing and probably by as much as 75%. Then you can bash away! As of now you are just wasting your time. Go play with your family or go wrestle your dog till he gets excited. Do something......

And I'll post whenever and wherever I like. Deal with it.

We can argue all day about numbers concerning who will be flying which fictional airplane 4 years after the first jet arrives. I was merely responding to a post about how the healthcare increase would be a net loss. The healthcare issue is about the least concerning issue of this LOA.

I used that as an example, but the point is any of jet rates would be a pay raise despite the healthcare increase, which wouldn't even take full effect for 4 year after the first delivery. And yes I'm basing it on captain rates. The FO's and people with families will obviously have different results.

Good Luck and vote accordingly.

You really are just a broken-record, bitter thing, aren't you. Hiding behind the false anonymity of an internet handle. The above isn't true, and you know it, but your anger drives you to post it anyway. How rough it must be to be you.

1. Did envoy's MEC told us that "no way other regionals can staff AAG flying?"
2. Where are you, VJ, KP, and Bill right now?
Thanks.

Yes, many people really have no clue how good we have it when it comes to Healthcare. We could triple it and it would still be better then most. I guess those Dash fuel burns helped subsidize our healthcare costs.
