On an amortization type schedule, if it takes 6 years to get a raise..is it really a raise??

ALPA had wonderful guns but forgot the bullets.

No, more like ALPA handed you a fully loaded gun and a bunch of spare magazines, but you dropped it like a little girl and ran screaming.

Maybe so, but the sad question for you is who is the airline pilot posting on an airline message board and who isn't?

I'd say that gives me more credibility, not less, but opinions vary.

Well, seeing as how SWAPA likes to brag about how they got AirTran a great new contract, I wish they would now use some of that phenomenal cosmic negotiating power to get their own pilots, including me, an acceptable new contract. But alas, a contract for SWA pilots seems to be beyond SWAPA's power.

You just need Steve Chase back. Evidently he was the key to SWAPA greatness.

It's better than agreeing to a turd for 5+ years.

Unfortunately, based on SWAPA's recent track record of side letters, I fear the turd is enroute.
