Out of curiosity do you do the same with your budget at home, just expand the pie?

Maybe you should ask management that when fuel prices spike? How on earth do they fit that change into the completely static pie?

Ridiculous and defeatist.

Explain to me again how you pattern bargain thru contract extensions.

Absolutely! As the CEO of the Griswald Family Budgetary Pie, I can choose to shrink my slice and not buy that 30' fishing boat I've been eyeing, but rather increase the slice for my kids thru college savings or something else that directly benefits them. You see, there's the pilots slice and then there's company's pie. Oh how much fun it is when they take our generosity and throw it down on something for themselves. Hint, I'm not buying the company a Bertram.

You are amazingly adept at gross mischaracterizations. You might want to ask some of your Delta buds how its going over there. UALPA is is solidly in the lead of pattern bargaining this time around.

Delta pilots vote no to TA1. Munoz tries to take a page from Delta's playbook by offering a favorable pilot contract extension with a Delta 'me too' clause. Delta pilots ratify a much better TA2 with significant pay raises that results in the same for United pilots.

Poor analogy and clearly lacking much thought. A more accurate comparison would be to say my family budget is X. I want a car payment of no more than 400$ per month. Now, truth is, I can make 500$ work, but I want to pay as little as I can get away with. Same as management. They know full well that it’s gonna be more expensive than they initially propose, and it’s our job to ensure that they open the checkbook.

Just to make sure, we're ONLY talking pay raises and not those other mundane contractual improvements right? If that's all that matters, let's just sign another extension. We all know that 75% of the group will go straight to Sec 3 when they first open the TA.
