Have a little empathy toward others. Look at it on the aggregate and not just “my money, my money, my money”. This seems to be a heck of a good deal for both the company and the pilot group. The company saves quite a bit on training costs right now, saves furlough pay in the short term and doesn’t shrink the airline so much they can still show a viable business model to potential investors. They shrink 30 percent right off the bat they can not make enough in the future to pay their debt payments and that’s just plain old math right there. The pilot group is helped out as potentially no layoffs immediately. The ones saved this year get 9 more months of pay, yes at reduced amounts and the remaining guys get to keep their seat and pay rate and all they do is give up a little on pay. Oh no I’m no longer making 350K this year I’ll have to survive on 230K how will we do it?!?? You make multiplies of the average American household right now, after a little cut you will still make multiplies of American household income. Throw in the fact you just helped save a potential 2K pilots with average of 3 people depending on them, or 8K total people from being thrown into financial hardship, you can go to sleep on your 6K dollar temperpedic bed with a full heart. Smile you will be alright.... BTW survivor of furlough in the past, I have the empathy and sympathy for all those potentially affected by these uncertain times. Btw, my mattress is a Sealy...about $800 dollars and 5 years old. |

Except for those of us at 50% reduced MPG that are in the bottom 3900 group subject to furlough.

It is because factual based reasoning & logic is a thing of the past. You no longer have to agree with the end result and may adjust whatever is needed to satisfy you. I believe it was addressed in another post but I am glad to see if is alive and well within the ranks

I don't think it is a thing of the past but, a gateway to the future. we must learn from our mistakes and apply what we have learned. That is why I think this LOA is a mistake, Period. It won't help the junior guys. It just gives false hope.

Is the company pressing ahead with hiring/training new TK 73 IPs they had advertised for if this TA passes? That will pretty much tell what the primary plan is for next summer.

Training ‘em gangbusters
