ASADriver said:No because there won't be a stike and we will get a deal slightly better than what is on the table now.
Headfake14 said:Hey guys...didn't feel like reading all FIVE pages and don't know if anyone though of this...but, the 15% that didn't vote...would that include our brothers/sisters on MIL leave in the desert? I'm sure they were in good standing but are out of touch at the moment. IF so, then just about everyone here stateside DID vote.
Willy21 said:You will only get what you are willing to settle for. I am willing to bet that the 93% are not going to settle for a deal that is "slightly better than what is on the table."
79%N1 said:Thats up to mamagement. If they are not willing to move off of their current proposals at all, we can not show the NMB that we can make headway at the table. Remember, ALPA CNC made the last move towards management in negotiations.
GO AROUND said:But what's stupid is that is what the majority of the pilots want. NO paycut, with improved QOL and the ability to make money if you want to. Just like the way SKW pilots can. We don't need a payraise to have the ability to make more money if you want to work for it. But we absolutely don't need to take a cut.
ASADriver said:I agree Go Around, but ALPA is asking for far more than this.
GO AROUND said:The company finally backed us into this corner and wanted to see the unity of the pilot group and try to sell us on their demands with their meetings. The pilot group gave them their resounding answer of "WE DON"T BELIEVE YOU!" and it became apparent that they didin't believe what they couldn't prove either.
Tomct said:Driver, you should KNOW better!! Company goes LOW and the Union goes HIGH! Then we meet somewhere in the middle. Stop all of your BS and get with the program! Why don't you explain to me WHY we should not get a raise when we are making money? Wait, let me say that again...WE ARE MAKING MONEY!!!! If not a raise NOW, then WHEN?????
GO AROUND said:Yes and for the last 2 weeks they have been metting with the company and talking supposals in order to get this done. You think that ALPA is the one that stopped negotiating and it is the company that has all the proposals in their hands not ALPA. ALPA did not stomp their foot and say take these last proposals or else, the company did. The CNC and the negotiations still have a lot of space for movement on both sides and that is what both sides have been feeling out for the last two weeks.

The pilots have given them their answer. We support our union and will not settle for a crap contract. They partly got this message from the meetings and now it is their move to get this going again and done.
The company is using Comair's concessionary rates, Chatauqua, and Mesa as comparisons. First of all, Comair's concessionary rates are NOT in effect and most likely never will be. Both Chatauqua and Mesa's contracts become amendable Oct 2007 (for Chautauqua/March for Mesa). Mesa doesn't even operate a CR7 for the Delta Connection, so why they are using them is beyond me. I personally don't think ALPA's current proposal will hold. I also don't think the Company's current proposal will hold. There will be a moderate in the middle somewhere.ASADriver said:Ah the old if you don't agree, then you just don't understand negotiations. I've bought a house and cars, I am well aware of how the "game" is played. I'm afraid that SOME here are expecting large pay increases, and that isn't reasonable if we are to remain competitive. If the union is HIGH, and the company is LOW, then why do you only harp on the company? Aren't BOTH sides being unreasonable. Stop with the BS rhetoric.
