If he doesn't, maybe you can enjoy both boobies and sunshine in your face as you take your 737 from MCO to PHX for SWA.
Who knows...there may be a lot more 737 type ratings sold in the next year to guys who "already" have a job. Kind of seems silly to suffer in the middle of the night sitting sideways for the next 7 years so someone else can take that 21 year multiplier and turn it into 25.
There may be a lot of guys with a lot at stake in 2004, but I think you will find the bottom 300 or so may just be willing to burn down the house if they don't think they stand to gain in a large way in 2004-5. There are probably 100 of us who could go back full time in the military, including a bunch of us who could get to an active duty retirement in 5 years or less. I imagine it won't be the senior guys telling the junior guys to "buck up", but rather them having to say "easy son...easy....don't make me lose this great ride 10/5/3 years from retirement". Think I'm bluffing? How many non members are there in the bottom 300? Okay...how about the top 300? I love my job, but my W-2 showed a whopping 36k last year. The junior crowd has MUCH less to lose than the guy with the six figure w-2, and we have a much longer time to live with PBS and a bunch of other potential nightmares if we don't do this right. So...I don't think anyone needs to lecture the bottom feeders on unity. Those are the guys who are already working a couple extra jobs, and the "adustment" of lifestyle if this went "poof" tomorrow would be much less traumatic for us than I think some people realize.
