I think that it'll be long enough that if you don't have a degree you'll be able to get it and move on before we have a TA.

This time, yes.

Multiple rounds of polling, 300 different pilots each time. Different questions each time.

1/5th of the eligible voting pilots, assuming roughly 1500 can vote, is a broad enough sample for each round of polling. (my assumption only, but I think the union said the same thing.)

So wait you are saying they are going to be doing more polling after this one?

If you were on the call you would know. I don't really think you work here, so it shouldn't matter...

I wasn't on the call because I was at this magical place called WORK. Moron.

Yes, because you think if someone wasn't on the conference call then they don't work here lmao it's like you're a teenage girl or something.


But please remind us how we have all the leverage in the world, and how the company will come crawling to our feet with a new proposal any day now while we spend the rest of the year polling to find out the obvious.

Do you know the company proposal?
Do you know the Union proposal?
Then asked about each item: pro, for, against or should the union negotiate?
How long do you think it will take to get a TA? <12months plus>
Do you have an app out?
Do you plan on staying?
Do you plan on staying if we get a TA?

The purpose of these calls are to see if the membership has finally come down to reality so they can finally start the real negotiations.

Yeah you're right. To be honest I think we should get paid regional rates with no work rules and 10 days off. By the way, who do you work for again? Because I find it funny that all you have done is talk SHT on the Spirit threads but you don't work here.

Sometimes you should at least find good water before you wet a line and start trolling. You’re just blindly dragging old blown out baits expecting to snag something. Get lost
