Your bottom line. Not mine.

Happy Thanksgiving.

 

LOL. You really are clueless.

 

Really!!!???

I'm in favor of more guys getting the higher rate and I'm clueless???

 

More guys aren’t getting a higher rate. By banding the 767-400 with the 777,787,747,350 you prevented those pilots from getting higher pay. And guess what? We have ALOT more 777s and 787s and soon A350s than we do 767-400s.

Sverign is correct the company got away with paying us less. The 767-300 and 400 should be paid the same BUT less than the 787,777,350

 

And basing ones argument by taking a snapshot of deflated (BK) wages and suggesting that pay was equal is lame. Compensation is composed of more than an hourly rate, especially one that was about to go up significantly as UA began stockpiling cash as we emerged.

I post this for the FNG's who might be tempted to swallow what he's selling. With negotiations on the horizon we need to be smart and stop selling ourselves short and accepting positions that aren't well thought out. Especially those that management just loves.

 

Happy Thanksgiving Shaftmiester.

 

It’s already been explained so I won’t rehash.

Jay POS sold out the group by promising to take his little red wagon and go home if everyone didn’t agree to his banding in an attempt to game the SLI. A large number of pilots held their noses and voted yes just to stop the insanity.

Now every pilot is paying the price........

 

You too Mr Weller. Looks like long call and turkey for me!

And slush.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/k...-slush-2702879 Or similar. There are many others.

 

Seems like the UAL guys still have sour grapes about the 76-400 paying the same as the 747. And if there had been a special higher rate for the jumbonauts, they would now be taking a paycut while their plane gets sent to the junkyard and turned into beer cans.

CAL used to have three rates; narrow body, mid-body and wide body. The company wanted to pay the 767-400 the same as the mid-body but we negotiated including it at the wide-body rates. Hence more guys got paid at the higher rate. I don't understand why that is not considered a good thing? More pilots making a higher rate. I thought that was the purpose of the union!

I find it appalling that currently the 757 is paid the same as the 737, and the 767 is paid only slightly more than that. That's where the union should focus the effort, raising the 757 and 767-300 rates, not cutting the 767-400 rate.

In any event, it's all moot to me, I make the WB CA rate. But, I would like to see more pilots making the higher rate, not fewer!

And the notion that by paying the 767-400 pilots more, the other WB pilots got paid less is simply not borne out by the facts. Like it or not, Delta's first post bankruptcy contract set the bar, not the UAL negotiating committee!

 

Never heard of slush, but after looking at the recipe, clearly one of the best things on this site.

Cheers!!
and Happy Thanksgiving
