CO pilots STICK IT TO THE MAN!

Sounds like a nice, fat legal loophole that corporations shove down our collective throats all the time. Shame more guys didn't take advantage of it.

Nothing illegal here. Move along.

So what about the one pilot that said he would pay the company back so he could keep his job.

Well-sir, that pilot will be forever known as "Captain Dumbass."

Wrong. It violates the spirit of the intended condition. They essentially looted in favor of themselves. Why should they be entitled to circumvent the stipulations when others play by the rules. They're no better than corporate criminals who use the same framework to legally cheat for profit.

You got it Purple. I wonder how many if CO's ALPA brothers and sisters at Delta are wishing they'd jumped on it. I know there were likely a few.

Any idea of the number over there General? Rumor-control says one of your seniority-listed mgt pilots jumped on that train.

Works both ways Amish....

"Spirit of the intended condition" is like saying "I didn't mean to knock up my prom date-I will accept no parental responsibilities, and I will pay no child support." Both those concepts go about as far in court as a giant lead balloon...

-Wow-some folks are just dense.

900,000 grand, that's over 16 years of pay for me at current crappy conditions.

You guys are funny. I'd take the money in a heartbeat! They earned it and by God they deserve to get it before it's taken in the name of solvency.

Gup

 

[ultrarunner]

I agree Gup! Good for them.

There is a difference between what is ethical and what is legal. What they did was legal but not ethical. Therefore, they are not criminals.
