In a way it is. And that's exactly what the company was offering over a year and a half ago; AWA rates plus 3 percent. Needless to say the 3 percent increase wasn't gonna fly with us. The sad part is that no matter what's negotiated paywise (if it gets negotiated at all) it will benefit the easties more that it will the west just by virtue of the fact that their pay is so abysmal to start with. Being paired up with those guys is like carrying dead weight uphill. By the way thanks for PM'ing me the RC info a few weeks ago. Appreciate it...

For the most part I agree with you here, PHXF. This is one reason why we must keep Doug Mowrey out of USAPA! He was on the ALPA JNC and has much to do with what ended up being the Kirby proposal. Since a lot of you are non members, you might not have seen Doug's campaign e-mails, but his take on the membership out here is that most of us are saying "jeeze, 20% raise? Where do I sign?" No kidding, he said that "where do I sign."
He's an idiot, he is a sell out, and he's very out of touch with the membership. Still, he's popular amongst the uninformed here in eastville. Unfortunately, and this won't surprise any of you here on FI, there are a lot of stupid east pilots There, I said it... who think a contract and a 20% raise is just around the corner if only they get "let's play nice with management Doug Mowrey" in the seat.
I know most of you hate me and everything my stupid group has done since we got married in 2005, but I urge you, anyone with a vote, to research Doug Mowrey and his "play nice" reputation and see for yourself. Look into what your own rep Brice says about him. Then, VOTE FOR: MIKE CLEARY!!!!!
No matter what the courts decide, we had better remember who our top enemy is: Parker, Kirby, Hogg, Bular, et al.
