The Jackwagon doesn't have any proof (and I wish people would quit quoting him so I wouldn't have to read his posts, that's why I put him on my ignore list in the first place!)He said that? Where is the proof!!
It was Livinthedream who initially asked for the staple to "put us out of our misery" that Baghdad Bob keeps referring to. My two responses to it were one from my own PERSONAL perspective of being off-property and miserable on-call 24/7 humping freight in a Lear again and a 2nd response to PCL when he said our pilots would scream bloody murder over a staple.
For that blast from the past, let's quote what I said when PCL said that a staple would p*ss everyone off:
That's what I said, fwiw.Lear70 said:Oh I'm not disagreeing with you, I don't think a staple would be appropriate, either, but the acquiring company has a funny way of deciding what is "appropriate" or not...
I'm just thinking of the percentages right now, which I believe are close to what you said at first... about 1/3 would be angry, and the other 2/3 would be telling the MEC to sign it as long as there was a no-furlough clause built into it and wouldn't get irritated until a few years later when there's little upward movement and they're stuck on reserve for 3-4 years.
We now return you to "The Baghdad Bob Spin Zone", aka a Southwest Pilot with an old flying buddy's login.
