Double check your time frame there. You might not be so smug.
kc81900 said:...our contract as porposed to CMR based on the guarantee of 199 airframes on property...
Ain't no such thing as "a guarantee" in this business. Jusk ask any of the furloughed pilots with a no-furlough clause.
That being said, vote as you wish. It seems simple to me though. You already have the pay rates, why trade 'em for a bigger airplane???
Ego?

Pilot's get paid by the seat, don't give up what you already have for a shiny new airframe.
chperplt said:It doesn't only involve pilots. It involves the FAs and management. Our LOA specifies how much of a freeze management must take and for how long.
Our customer service staff have been on a pay freeze for more than 2 years now as well.
Fred's plan, good or bad, involves everyone.
sleepy said:Sorry, but I believe that the two aircraft DCI sent ASA during your 89 day strike never left the maintenance facility in MCN. I can't imagine that any ASA pilots were excited about sitting in a parked Comair aircraft down in MCN.
InclusiveScope said:Sleepy,
It wasn't my 89 day strike, I'm an ASA pilot. We did fly the CMR aircraft during their strike and we did have a FEW pilots who were glad to get these additional aircraft. I heard them myself in ops. My point was that while CMR had a FEW who may have been "giddy" as you say to grow in ATL, we had a few who were "giddy" to get their aircraft during the strike. We also have a FEW who are "giddy" about growing in CVG. SO WHAT!!!!
This petty tit for tat is absurd. Bob blaiming the CMR MEC is absurd. We should be demanding our union do something to stop the bidding process, or we should just bid like everyone else. Bitching about it, while allowing it to happen, is not leadership. If Bob wants to point fingers at an MEC, I would suggest he point downstairs to the Delta MEC. Oh wait I forgot, that might piss off ALPA and we might lose our funding.

CMR pilots (whatever they decide) are NOT the enemy

This "race for the bottom" started when the Delta MEC engineered ALPA apartied scope, by allowing multiple carriers to provide Delta narrowbody lift under Delta's marketing and operational umbrella, with D E L T A painted down the sides of the airplane.General Lee said:THE RJDC IS THE ENEMY! And, quit blaming the Delta MEC Ridiculous!
Bye Bye--General Lee
