Hey Duke: Just for fun, tell us what the IBT would do with a leader that voted opposite of the membership's majority?[/quote]
Ask Jimmy Hoffa!! Maybe he can answer that question, NO wait, forget about that.
DA

Yeah, Ill take that Pepsi challenge (your words, not mine!)
No pay DH...yes, I remember,...and after I arrived, 1/2 pay Dh to everything...
It was assumed that if the company wasn't making anything, why should we???...IE...flight was cancelled...no money to company...no money to our bottom line...no money to our paycheck....kinda like we were all entrepreneurs...
No 401k...period...(or match)...period...no 401k..
4-day trip...pays 16.0...no rigs...months on end....
Sr. line pays 103.5...Jr. line pays 86.5...no guarantee, or rigs...
Oh yeah...I forgot to mention that the profit sharing was realigned before my arrival!!!
I may be wrong. but certain memories seem to burn pretty deep, so correct me if I'm wrong!!!
Oh....by the way,...I luved it back then...times were great...
Hummm......I sense hostility...not going to go there now...just had some nostalgic recollections...allow me the moment....

I do feel for the guys who retired under the conditions you describe. They deserve more.
Yeah...like maybe 5 more years...
BTW....had a guy here at SWA retire in Dec 2006 as an FO...so sad....finally had his dream job, but was forced to retire from it before he got to upgrade. Not to mention a whole host of legacy guys in the same boat....
Yep. Exactly.
Don't think about the average guy. Think of the worst pilot you ever flew with. Now think of him at 69.5 - or 64.5 for that matter.
It's be one thing if we could pick and choose, but the weak sisters will get to go longer too. And because nobody will do any research into this - the free market will have to rule.
What Prussian forgot to mention is that the FO that turned 60 spend a full career plus in the military by choice and came to SWA late in life - by choice.
