[vtech]

But don't forget, it's really all about safety, right?

If (when) the 60+ers refuse to give up any of their windfall, at least we'll all know the "safety, experience, etc." rhetoric was all B.S.

I got mine, pull up the ladder.

WHEREAS: The Association knowingly and willfully did expend dues money collected from those First Officers to effect the change to Age 65,therefor


BE IT RESOLVED: That The Association shall seek to increase pay for those First Officers between the years when they would have upgraded to Captain under Age 60 and the time they are able to upgrade under Age 65 to a minimum of 75% of Captain pay, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That this increase in First Officer pay shall, if necessary, be funded by a commensurate decrease in pay for those Captains who have reached Age 60.

The American pilots have the right idea but they don't stand a chance if they are the only ones seeking a 50+ percent increase. I'll tell you this....when it all shakes out, I think you'll all have the APA to thank for raising the bar. I commute on them from time to time and their pilots are pretty pissed.

My, how soon we forget!

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: Management will continue to laugh in our faces while they cash in their stock options. Merry Christmas and good luck with that.

March to ALPA Nat'l and demand Prater at least introduce this. If he is a true unionist who believes in fair treatment, he will agree with our direction. Otherwise, he is just another selfish politican.
