US considers raising foreign ownership limits

[RP 04]

You might be right, but I'm based in the US, getting paid in US dollars, my family and I visiting US hospitals and doctors (if needed), again, what a concept...

I work for one those "foreign airlines". Now let's have a look at my pay/benefits package: $10140/month (7 years with the company), 6 weeks of vacation, PPO healthplan for the whole family at ZERO cost (no deductable/ co-payment), 15.5% of your salary, invested by Fidelity, or if you so like, take the cash and run (what a concept)...

I know that all of you have better pay, cheaper healthcare, longer vacation, and better retirement, but over all I'm pretty happy with my pay package.

That's pretty good money. Would you cross a picket line to get or keep it?

Good point.... who is it?

Did you cross a picket line to get your current job, or would you cross a picket line to keep your current crappy pay?

How about answering the question? I'll answer yours with an emphatic NO! After seeing how airlines operate towards their employees there is absolutely no way I would cross anyone's picket line for any purpose either as a customer or pilot. While I don't make what you claim to make, as a pilot for a private family I make pretty good money for the hours worked so part of your question does not apply. While it's several years away, many US pilots working for foreign airlines will be in the position of flying outsourced or struck work from US freight haulers. What will you do if that happens?

Why would you even ask such a question? Do you think pilots working for foreign airlines are more likely to become scabs, than for example pilots working for JB, CO, DL, or Atlas?
