Extra DH capacity to move crews into the NY market for inevitable IROPS.

K.C. is out to lunch thinking his bid-for-days-off reserve changes help this pilot group. The bad idea wasn’t even implemented well.

Had K.C. In the jump last negotiation round and after much discussion he finally got frustrated and fessed up, "well we're just regional pilots so we shouldn't expect much". End of discussion, I knew then we were doomed.

Oh come on. Everyone saw those pay raises coming, including RJ. Which is why the company was in such a rush to get that stupid TA passed.

Not correct, I was an unabashed union guy when I was a rep. Raised some eyebrows sure, but I got some things done. The bylaw thing was a non-issue

I just got done reading and voting for the VP SAPA Rep. I can't believe a couple of the candidates actually wrote in their Bio that they were part of the negotiations for the recent pay contract and think that would HELP them get elected.

As soon as I saw that in their Bio I said "Next".
