Not demanding Retro basically says to management its OK to stretch out a deal as long as possible because it does not cost us anything!
Personally, I'd be pretty surprised and impressed if our management was good enough to round up 1400 scabs, and train them to FAA standards, etops, southeast, arctic, and have them on the line in one month...which is about the maximum amount of time the airline can sustain a lack of any revenue with 1.1 in the bank. Oh, and thats assuming shareholders stay put and the board doesn't fire everyone.Ocity,
You think the fact that Alaska can replace us all in a matter of two weeks with qualified airline pilots currently on furlough AND has $1.1B in the bank to do it with is irrelevant?
Do you also think the fact that U.S. in currently in the worst economic recession since the '30s is irrelevant?
Nothing happens in a vacuum, my friend. Perhaps an unemotional look at the contract when it comes out coupled with an honest appraisal of the overall economic landscape would serve you (us!) better than screeching "No retro, no big raise, NO VOTE!"

For Bill and Brad's sake, I just hope whatever scabs they find are bigger and meaner than I am.
