After looking at the TA proposal, I have to say, this part of the proposal will bite you in the hindquarters more than you might think:
Redefine “Hours Flown” to pay scheduled vs. actual on a per trip basis, rather
than a per-flight basis.
On my last trip, for example, the first day went 38 minutes over due to T-storms and some problems at the gate ($76. I earned every penny of) . . . . but the last day, which was a Sunday, found us boogeying out of LGA early, and got in 14 minutes early. Under your TA, I would have been penalized $28. for getting in early! Or, I could have just slowed WAY down on that Sunday, so as not to lose money . . . . .
Smart move for mgmnt to ask for this? I don't think so, but what do I know? I'm just a lowly "yoke and throttle operator" from Sector 7-G.
PS, the other 70 AirTran pilots . . . the EAL scabs . . . think "Hvy" is "right on" and are digging his posts. They also would like to see pictures of him in a "bannana hammock" whatever that is.

Your bitterness is apparent. Life at UAL isn't what it once was but I'll bet it's much better than the only place you were able to find a job.
