Sweet you are talking signing bonuses. I don't know how you did it but you somehow found Tranny captain gold. Ask them about the distribution of the signing bonus on our last contract. Once you pull them out of the ceiling ask them why ALPA decided to do it that way.
These guys can go on for hours.
I also enjoyed the "pissed off 30% of the work group". Hey Captain "it's clear right, you're right, and I'll take the fat one". When we sit next to a SWA whiner we play the part.
We didn't upgrade in two weeks, we didn't make squat as an FO, the furlough, ready reserve, downgrades, hotels, 12 days off, payscale, etc. all sucked. We were all patiently waiting for the 65 stall to end so we could get out of AirTran. When you tell us "we should go to Delta" just understand that the only thing that has made that a hard decision is SWA buying us.
Look around! You think that 86% was an aberration? A staple would have gone 70%. You think it was the threats. BS we were all looking for the door. The NC knew it, the pilot group knew it, SWAPA knew it, GK knew it, 14% and an MEC just didn't get it.
I posted because I can't sleep now I will add that I don't care and it's over because that's what every other poster says.
