Dont' you think UPS or FedEx will get big raises in their new contracts?

They might, but golly gee whiz, why would you care. You don't really work for Fed Ex do you? Why do you spend so much time on this fantasy? When people spend as much time as you, under many screen names, putting down others it just shows that you are bitter for what they have. Don't worry, this isn't 8th grade. We are not like those kids that locked you in the gym locker.

How are you going to feel when your stuck flying the EMB170 for the rest of your career for minumum wage.

How are you going to feel when you discover your hyperbole is a million times worse than it needs to be?

Good Luck to the Polar guys. I know a few pilots over there and they deserve a good contract and good compensation for what they do.
Best of luck to you guys!

Hey b747-300, any final thought? Any last minute predictions?


The partay starts in a few hours, rock on!

I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for your team to keep a straight face at the mediation table while asking for a thirty-something percent raise at the exact same time as two real airlines are filing for bankruptcy protection. The opening statement probably went something like this:

"Mr. Mediator: We, the Polar Air Cargo crewmembers, represented by ALPA, continue to believe that record high fuel prices have no direct impact on our business. And even though our parent company has just emerged from bankruptcy, we strongly believe that our business is incredibly profitable. For these reasons, we continue to seek a thirty-whatever percent increase in pay and several other improvements to our collective bargaining agreement".

September 16, 2005 will now be "A Date Which Will Live in Infamy". Your union leadership will always be remembered as the greedy morons who turned down a double digit salary increase with a contract extension and asked for a release from mediation instead. And the union membership will always be remembered as lemmings.

You guys had what you claimed was a good QOL contract. You had furlough protection!! You would have had much more power had you remained in the cockpits. But no, you did exactly what management wanted. The planes and flying will be shifted to Atlas and you guys will have the longest strike/lockout in history.
