You just don't give up on this mantra do you? Blah blah blah senior pilots blah blah blah their fault blah blah blah I want to upgrade blah blah blah. Give it a rest pal. There has been a great deal of damage done by junior pilots here on property and at other carriers. Or have you forgotten what seniority bracket the NC was and some of the LEC reps?
Odd, I have never heard a peep about a "Captains only raise". What makes that even more ridiculous is that the contract is already finished which makes this diatribe a moot point. So you better try some new material that will give you a little more credibility.
This last post of yours makes it crystal clear what your real concerns are. Selfishness and worrying about yourself by blaming others. Inceidently, are you a scab?
Come up with some better arguments for a change. And don't forget that these senior people negotiated things in the past that made this a job for those like you to aspire to. What will the next generation say about what the current contracts being negotiated today?
BTW, when I was junior and getting hosed by the senior guys, I didn't whine and compalin about it. I guess that is what we have now is an entitlement society and thinking. At least for you anyway.
Flopgut said:This change will stratify the profession even more. I am less worried about airline mgts than I am about these senior pilots that will be allowed to linger. Combine greed with the fact that this change is simply a gift to them that required no additional discipline and the results are worrysome. They are going to want more pay and benefits at the top. Too many will have zero regard for what that does to the bottom half of the seniority list. (nothing like this happened to them in their career) I already hear far too much talk at CAL of a captains only raise. Just look at the tone of the posts here by the age change contingent. Look for them to not only pull up the ladder on the rest of us, they will probably roll out the "cauldron of boiling oil" to pour on our heads. They will cut deals with mgt and enable them to make the <50% seniority airline career worth zip.
