Exactly the above. If this junior MEC won't get you a flat rate than who will? Not answering your phone will get you a flat rate much sooner. But it is up to you. Until we keep reinforcing the idea of cheap and always available labor for a bit of coin, you will not see a flat curve. 7 calls the last 24 hours on my phone. I have never gotten this many over Christmas. May be guys are starting to wake up.

Marry Christmas Spirit! I will see you in January.

How to win a CBA battle:

"Convince your enemy that he will gain very little by attacking you; this will diminish his enthusiasm."

Very Gordon Gekko, but aviation management has been using the same playbook since Kitty Hawk. No need to go back any farther than 2008 to see what's coming next.

The Art of War and Goodfellas make for catchy quotes, but maybe we are making this more difficult than it is.

One need not look further than the bendocasts to see what is important and valuable to them.

Just look at the QOL thread where Fedex pilot stated his year earnings and said that was with NO EXTRA PICKUPS because they were in contract negotiations. Now there is unity! And look at the quick TA results that produced. Just saying....

One problem is many built their lifestyles around working their tails off. Hard to give it up in that case

Yeah, let me get right on that. Thanks, but no thanks. Not even for 300%...since that's still below premium rate we should be making for working open time on a holiday. Family is far more important.

Right on schedule, Jyri's holiday "If you want to fly, call us."

I always love his "pilot schedule is adequate" line he always adds in these messages.

Sad part is they will be filling these open time slots with pilots more than wiling to put the uniform on and head on it.
