Snakepelt,

How do you know what FO pay will be? Are you sitting in on the negotiations? You must be on the MEC.

Current FO pay 27,000 first year. Fact.
What our new contract will be. Who knows? We have not even seen the new proposal to vote on. Fact.

Infoman.

On Your Six - Can't strike until mediator releases both parties to self-help. As long as both parties negotiate in good faith, mediation continues. Mediator has control and by releasing us, he is admitting defeat. Liklihood is slim anytime soon. If released after a couple of T/A get turned down, pilots will strike in a heartbeat.

Appx 50 of those are FO's on FO pay.

WOW What an honor! And what does my family get for this! Well let's see--

3yr old Anna--misses her daddy 17days a month, and wonders why she can't go to nursery school like her friend. (too expensive)

Morgan-8yrs 3rd grade---poor kid/reduced price lunch, missed out on Cub Scouts because it costs too much money and Dad can't participate enough. Wears hand-me-down clothes to school. Blames Mom because she says everything he wants is "too expensive".

Nic--18--works summers to help pay for college, hopes that savings will stretch and knows that Mom has to keep driving her 14yr old car, so he doesn't get it.

Mom-is tired of being a single parent half the month for a budget that can't justify the sacrifices she makes, lives a life of denial, and tells her kids No all the time when they ask for treats.

Dad--works his butt off for $28 K a year, feels betrayed, embarassed, and disgusted. Is getting very bitter having to watch the rich px tip everyone else on the flight line but the pilots that got him safely there.
