Ah I see one bid out to ORD, he still lives there, but I guess that is besides the point. Just remember, "we won't start over", "we are only 24 million apart", "we are building on our previous meetings". Now we can't even get moving expenses TA'd. Can we please finally push forward the 109 resolution creating a new NC? Almost 1400 pilots and no one else can do it? Maybe they will lower 1st year pay again! Double our health care costs again, allow our health care costs to go up a compounding 7% per year. Maybe we won't get profit sharing because "the stock would not be worth the paper it's written on". "We will never IPO", Maybe we can go to a shorter callout on reserve from 3 hours to 2, like last time when they went from 4 to 3 hours? I hope many others are getting militant out there, no more low expectations! Industry leading pay for industry leading profits!! Oh I forgot, we did get a whopping 1% increase in a 401k match after DOS plus 4. Nice.

Got to keep ACY open, now that we are so well represented with TWO ACY pilots on the NC out of 3, nice. We all get what we deserve, Contract 2020!!
Are the 100% trip drops (you seem to have a hard on for) the reason you keep trying to break into a union position. Gotta get some a dat?

And who is the we/us you're referring to.......your other screen names?

Nope, I would publish all trip drops in the interest of transparency, I think your constituents would appreciate it and trust our union more. And yes I have a hard on for people abusing the system, it was happening before, and it happens now.

Edit- ALPA can not legally suggest most of the things you mention to the best of my knowledge
Again... Not suggesting anything illegal. I want some leadership! What the heck is going on over there. Pull some levers guys. Take some action that will show BF we are for real and at the same time put new wind in our sails! You've got 1300 of us ready to demonstrate our fortitude. Please don't let this opportunity go by. Please.

I like there are some questions to verify if we are a Spirit pilot. But how the heck am I supposed to know what an 5 letter word is for an L3 prompt is on a MX menu on the MCDU is, while sitting in my living room?

Oh well...

Management better understand we will not be ratifying some industry trailing TA after trying to wear us out for 9 years like the flight attendants. As time goes by my ask only goes up and right now it's united plus increases past 2019 if that's how long the term of the contract is. They and American are amendable in 1/19.

Before long my ask is going to be delta or southwest plus so they had better get it together. I am not a flight attendant you picked up on Craigslist. I will not setting for working under a garbage contract for another 14 years.

I still think we should get Delta or United Airbus pay. This is the ALPA negotiated pay for the Airbus and we shouldn't take any less.

You aren't. You need to be on the plane. It's to verify you are a pilot here. Those prompts can be changed/moved around from airline to airline.
