If Smisek's henchmen comes to the table asking for 15% more of your hard earned dollars (and they probably are), will you quit if the union gave it to them?? I'll ask it a different way. How much lower will you go before you quit??

It's not about wanting or not wanting the paychecks and as a furloughee, I don't need you to speak on my behalf. This profession is at anchor and collecting moss because of "take it or leave it" attitudes like yours. Maybe people should instead take a hike because they've become impediments to progress...

You do realize our paycuts were endorsed by ALPA and voted in by a majority of the pilot group. So when you want to blame someone for your woes you can look in the middle of your tie.

How low am I willing to go? Not my choice. You better ask ALPA.

Last time I checked, if your in "good standing", you have something called a "choice" via a thing known as a "VOTE". It 'maybe' only "1 of 12,000" in the total tally when (J)CBA is handed down via our MEC's.....BUT again, you DO have a choice. Let's not confuse that with being apathetic on the topic.

BTW.....When the time comes.....Mine will be screen-saved, printed, laminated, and hanging on my roller-board if there's any question on my choice/voting.

ALPA has sucked the life out of our pilot group. They wait with baited breath for them to reveal something. It is presented and guys can't vote fast enough. During the BK if we had better leaders at ALPA we might have not allowed some of the huge concessions we took for wages, work rules and scope. But instead ALPA is a flame to the moths of self importance and those needing an ego boost.

If anyone tuned into our MEC Chair and puppet chat last night it was quite amusing!
