I have zero desire to fly across oceans. If I wanted that, I would be working to try and get on with a "double breasted blazer" airline. My sweet spot is the 2.5-3.0 hour blocks, pay is worth the up and down and not too long to make me stir crazy

I think you guys are missing a few things:
1) Like how far 4000 miles will take you.
2) And that the A321NEO is still not a heavy, so no mo $$$.
3) Or that everyone knows the new Houston - Novosibirsk route will go senior anyway...

"Dozing for dollars" as they say, and you can even slide open the divider if you get lonely...

As dirty as our cockpits are, a crew bunk would be a splattered modern art masterpiece under a black light

So delta should take paycuts because they are the top of the industry just as long as they stay on top? That's what your saying.
This LOA is a staffing reduction in perpetuity. It's not just a concession one time. It's the concession that keeps on giving while we grow. How this is not understood by the entire MEC and negotiating committee blows my mind. Let the company do whatever the want within the constraints of out current contract if we vote it down. I'm not voluntarily going to hand over a concession. Never! Ever! If they want it they are going to have to take it.
The last pilot group I was in gave. Guess what we got for it? Nothing. They came back for more down the road. You feed a wild animal and they forget how to feed themselves and they come back for more. The panhandler in the median doesn't take your gift and put it towards a new pair of clothes and a shave so he can get a job, he stands out there and waits for more.
I'll tell you what, if they want industry standard recurrent training I want to LOA an industry standard contract now and we can negotiate from there for our new contract in August.
