He's aware of the stock price, trust me.

Haha, this man speaks the truth!

If the new contract has PBS in it me and every other pilot I've flown with this past year, all my friends and friends of friends who can vote will vote NO. Aside from that, I WAS willing to look at pbs until Dec. when the ASA mec drew the line in the sand. They can take thier ultimatum and stick it where the sun don't shine...

You're already getting PBS with your new 70 seat jets.

This sounds like a SOUR GRAPES thread to me.

That is your rebuttal? So you are saying that you will never get 50+ seat aircraft?
Guess what. Not up to you. Your company got purchased with first rights of refusal for larger AC for United. Guess who now is one of the lowest paid 70 seat drivers. Welcome to PBS.

Your MEC drew a line in the sand too...Smartpref is their line in the sand....They can take their McPickle and stick in the same place....

Annnnd! If the company and both mec's ever sit down again to work out an sli this TEMPORARY pay rate will be gone. They cannot hold this one section out of negotiations . Everyone is in a huff about NOTHING! Now if we never do get back to negotiations then Yeah we are then officially Mesa-east. At that time you may get all bowed up.

Well, whatever happens with XJT's JCBA, I wish you all the best. Enjoy it while it lasts...

When we are done having this conversation in lala land let us know so we can get back to reality. The XJT MEC proposed multiple ways to come to a mutual agreement via arbitration, external/ internal focus groups, ... And all were shot down. The ASA MEC shot those proposals down and instead of negotiating in good faith they proposed expensive and sometimes impossible solutions that weren't necessary. Is the "line in the sand" really the same from one MEC to the next?

Why are we arguing over this? This isn't contestable. All parties have come right out with what happened. Either you are being intentionally obtuse or somebody is lieing to you about what happened.
