......and a pony.

As much as I’d love a contract, I don’t see the urgency for the company to sign anything. Why sign a cost increase when they can wait it out and see if a recession or other event changes the game? Without scope relief, there isn’t that much motivation for them to do anything other than play the negotiating game..........and scope relief isn’t an option.

Erm, 77+ seat flown by mainline. And I want to take back everything above 50 seats.

So still carrying the Bankruptcy/JCBA/Extension water for a 17% increase over 4 years? Will someone please remind me how much money the company is printing? How much of that is being sent out the door with a stock repurchase program? Gotta love silly season rumors.

Patience running thin.

Better take some Valium. There is ZERO reason for the company to want to pay us more. They are making tons of money with no end in sight. No more not raises for the pilots. So until something shifts into our favor this is as good as it gets.

Sooner or later that "golly gee wiz smile" will be wiped off the face of pilots. Especially when they realize how much they are losing since the due date of this contract.
