BA I’m not arguing any of your points except this one. People have gotten over it and moved on. Other than a few inconsequential comments on APC. The BS you read here is not being expressed or acted upon on the line.

Thanks and agreed.

My sole reason for posting this is we have so many new pilots, I want them to know how we ended up with what we got. Just post some factual data and set the record straight not urban legend. In the not so distant future there will be more post merger pilots then pre merger.

I’m not saying people haven’t gotten over it, they have. Just trying to post in a way not to pi$$ off anyone rehashing the past and opening up old wounds. I wasn’t trying to grand stand. It was my attempt to be politically correct. This is a sensitive subject and I didn’t want to offend anyone.

I don’t really care about the rates. I agree there needs to be some realignment to align them with industry standards. My concern for this round of negotiations is work rules. I would rather spend our negotiating capital gains in our work rules.

Understood and thanks for posting this.

I want both, thinking we have to choose one or the other is exactly what they want us to think. This company is literally printing money, I’m done “choosing.”

Section 5 & 20 (work rules) have been completed. Hopefully good gains were made. Section 3 should be a simple math exercise.

I hope the NC realizes the 767-300 isn’t going away any time soon this round.

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

All that I’m saying is that our work rules need more attention than our pay rates. We have decent pay rates, obviously I want to see an increase though. This is a negotiation, so we’re not going to get everything we want. We can’t have it all. Everything that we want or the Company wants has a price to pay.

After 9/11, every airline management took EVERYTHING (read “all”) in a once in a lifetime orgy of slash and burn pay and benefits, now it’s payback time.
