I'd forgotten the one about the bumps on his... never mind. Where's the one where he claims to be retired Special Forces? Dude's trolling game is about as weak as the PC air in IAH...

Mods, why does quoting with a mobile platform get screwy at times?

You want to check my underwear for stains too since you’re probing?

Everyone talks a good game poking fun at me, but will anyone be willing to answer my question? What should we as pilots be looking for in the next round of pay increases?

It seems you all forget that I am your fellow ALPA brother and we must stick together during the good times and the bad.

To the original claim that inflation is “out of control”, it’s currently below 2.5% & it’s been in the neighborhood of 3 for well over a year now. I get that some people are still feeling the squeeze of the post-COVID economy but while prices remain high, inflation itself is not an ongoing problem.

For us at UAL, the last contract basically trued us up to the major inflation of 21/22 & the built in annual increases exceed current economic trends. Sure, anything can happen, but if it does, we’ll have to deal w/ it during our next negotiations, which are still a few years off. More useful right now to learn the current contract really well & focus on enforcement. I’m all for making big gains when the time comes.

Even if inflation numbers have calmed down from the last couple of years, the vast majority of people (myself included) are still haunted by how much the basics cost and each month seems to get tighter. Is this sustainable, or the new normal? What if the economy crashes and pilots are out of jobs and get concessionary contracts?

I agree learning the current contract is paramount, but let’s hope we don’t settle for much less should management come begging for relief during “hard times”.
