Sap-1 is the least of worries if this passes.

Sap-1 is the least of worries if this passes.

For you and me that's absolutely the truth. For a guy near the top of the list he very likely wouldn't be affected by scope changes, reserve rules wouldn't affect him like they would new upgrades and he could care less about FO pay because he had to PFT when he was hired here and made next to nothing.

I'm just grasping at straws here to try to get some more NO votes from the senior guys. Thanks guys!

I'm flying with a pretty senior guy this month. Every time I bring up Lear's rebuttal points re: reserve, scope, FO payrates, etc. he always makes it about him and how that section doesn't really affect him. How do I convince him that he should be thinking about the "little guy" also? What would you do/say to help him see your point of view?

A good punch in the mouth might help. Relax, its sarcasm.

Believe me I wanted to. Figured that wouldn't help the cause much though.

Say he calls in sick, but on day two he feels better, so he calls in to rejoin his trip. Skeds tells him that is impossible, but they have three days of reserve for him.

Scen A: He has to live under reserve rules for three days.

Scen B: He says no thanks and they then put him down as refusing an assignment.[/quote]


Not true. If he calls in sick he can pick up open time starting day two.

If he calls in late to report he can be offerd reseve.

He does not have to accept a reserve assignment. He would lose the pay for that trip.

I stand corrected, but, if everyone else is using misinformation, why can't we use a little too?

We are better than that. This TA needs to voted down on the right info.

I know. I was joking.

Don't worry about the senior guys. Skipper was probably trying to get the senior guys $300 while the junior guys could stay below industry average. Too bad he doens't realize guys with 6 years or less seniority have a 2 to 1 edge over guys here more than 6 years.

Seriously guys is it really that bad here at Tranny? You all sound like a bunch of cry babies. Obviously you have not been through tough contract negotiations before. I'm sorry, but if you think about this scnizzle too much, you get your undies all in a bundle and lose the big picture. I know TA2 or whatever you wanna call it sucks. Let's just quit bitchin and find a way to fight for something we deserve.

Vote this thing down and start some job actions through the proper channels. Our voice will be heard if we can stick together.

Whatever, this site is way too depressing and masochistic. I should really stay away from it...
