Most doctors minus surgeons make 200k/yr or less.

Lawyers on average make even less than that.

We all wanted more money but as was said in the road show ( which I’m almost positive you did not attend or watch ) the NMB is only pushing for so much.

If you want DL’s contract I suggest you get off here and go to airline apps and get typing bro.

I did attend a timeshare presentation, and watched one online as well. I don't care what they say about the NMB. Eventually this company needs a deal and will come to the table, NMB or not. I know they said the company has not ever agreed to meet without the NMB, but it's only a matter of time. I'm not a scared little p@ssy, I can wait! As a Captain, if this thing passes I will most certainly up my efforts to leave. I don't want any part of such embarassment. I was holding out to see a TA, but I have seen it now and NO THANKS! Anyone under 40 will most definitely make more money if they start over elsewhere, Captain or not.

Some of you proposed scheduling sounds draconian. You can do MUCH MUCH better. It just takes a modicum of courage. Something that has been rare in this business for decades..Make us proud!

Why wait for this thing to pass or fail to get your apps out? If I was you I would start working on it tonight. It will take years for Spirit to make Delta rates. Time to face reality.

Haha

Bad news coming for you in 10 days...

Reminds me of “if Bush gets elected, I’m moving to Europe”....18 years later, those same people are still in the USA

This passes and you are not going anywhere.

“Most definetly make more money somewhere else” is a fools statement and anyone thinking they can foretell the next 25 years in the industry is simply a fool.

And probably gives regional jumpseaters a hard time because they ruined the industry... You sold it. You started this crap. We vote on what we get and will take the lashing knowing that the old timers that ***** about us younguns are the ones that sold everyone out. Have a good day sir...

Correct. Now knowing our abject stupidity, why would you repeat that pattern? NK is making more money than they can hide, and most of you appear willing to sign off on a concessionary contract. Why? You think voting no will cause some kind of biblical event? At the end of the day, after all the fear grenades, it will simply trigger more negotiating and may result in a better deal.

It's getting annoying when pilots from other carriers come on here telling us how to vote. Have you been to a road show and seen all the facts, listened to the negotiators and what their decision process was, talked to the ALPA lawyers and asked questions? Have you lived under our current contract and compared the two? Of course not.

I would never have the arrogance to go to another major or legacy board and tell them how to vote, especially when there was no way to know about the new TA as well as someone who has access to all the facts.
