All well and good if all high income earners were paying their fair share and we were using it to bring the deficit under control. Unfortunately, those at the very top got huuge tax breaks and we're running enormous deficits to fund them.

I think you meant Silicon Valley in the Bay Area (famous resident Steve Jobs)... as opposed to Silicone Valley, just north of LA (currently famous resident Stormy Daniels).

That whole post is a head scratcher, since the late 90s were pretty good to pilots. Never discount the makeup of the NMB and the DOL when it comes to our pay. It's no coincidence we made gains under Obama and Clinton.

I’ve given up trying to battle autocorrect. But yes you would be correct, the northern one. Although BUR makes for some fantastic people watching.

Who was President when contract 2000 was signed? Or during the successful 85 strike?

Whatsa mattah? Professional information upset you?

Here I'll help.

DJT just put a bunch of money in your pocket!
Congrats!

PS....I'm not a democrat

Its 100% coincidence. Using your logic, we will take a pay cut this next contract (remember its under Trump). So when we ink the highest pay rates ever in the next contract, its all Trump’s credit, right?

Obama sat on his hands while NAI and ME3 grew out of control. Obama also gave us the 76 seat RJ, because that was under his tenure.

You can’t just pick and choose. Neither Obama nor Clinton cared one dam about airline pilots contracts.

What was this post about again?

Contract 2000? Slick Willy Clinton of course. Who else???

'85 Strike? Reagan. So I guess that five year B-Scale was a success? How did the Cal strike go? The Ronnie 'fire the union p*ssies' Reagan era was GREAT for corporate raiders like Lorenzo and Ichan. Not so much for pilots. Btw, Ichan was a senior economic advisor for Trump. Two peas in pod.

Lol ... It's the ones way above us that benefit from the changes ... The ones with wealth like Mr. Trump.
