There's your on tap bank money!

No, he's not correct. The pilot group said, in essence, "you keep that money, we don't want it."

And until this pilot group grows some balls and votes to authorize a union that can actually say "no" to management we're going to continue to leave money on the table.

Wait. Didn't you come from a union carrier with a big negative in the balls category?

Easy. Fly block. It can make the difference of $500-1000/month depending on how much you fly and what type of trips you fly.

1%? No thanks. I'll make my own raise.

BTW I'm not saying it's right for the company to pull this stuff. If only we had some type of legally binding protection to keep them honest...

They have their share of comfy lifers too. But I and 80% of the pilot group voted NO on the only TA offered while I was there.

I'll sign a union drive card right now; will you?

And some people taxi like they're auditioning for Southwest on every leg. Proper taxi speed is a BRISK WALK.
