AvWriterJoe is currently occupied and unable to respond. AWJ is frantically scouring the internet "doing research".

And that isn't fear mongering? Your side is attacking those who are saying the Fed is continuing to raise interest rates and control crash the economy for 2023. Your side calls this pessimist, can't predict the future, and stop being scared of what could happen to the economy. Sounds like you want to control the narrative and fear only what you deem is worth fearing.
So in essence, you write our views off on a year just 3 months away. But you are absolutely convinced about something for 2026 and beyond.

It's not speculation. It's reality. The retirement peak will have passed by the time we get a new new contract.
You're predicting things that might happen. I'm showing things that are already scheduled to happen.
Know the difference.

The OP had an unclear question.
Also I am 100% not management. If I was management, I'd be posting here a long time before now instead of playing DCS World.

I’m satisfied. And while the company has promised for literally decades to abide by industry standard scope, they’ve bled us dry with a thousand little cuts. One of the most egregious is bringing on 175’s with a higher MGTOW of 89K pounds, making it truly capable of replacing every one of us. Our TA’s scope language allows them to keep flying nearly forty at this higher-than-industry-standard weight and is completely unacceptable. They’re being rewarded for their crooked labor practices and I cannot vote yes in good conscience.

As someone who loves data, you can see the retirements in black and white.

I have to remind myself, I'm arguing with the most vocal angry voice on APC and Alyeska, and on financial matters at that (bad combo). You do you and vote no. Hey, I heard if you vote NO everyday from Oct 3 - 17, your NO vote will count 15 times. And if it passes, you could always do an insurrection at the Alaska MEC office to "stop the steal."
Debating with you is useless, I don't even know why I fall for it. Shame on me.

I'm not predicting what might happen, it IS what is happening. When you raise interest rates, you raise borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. As a result, they spend less, take less loans, grow less, and the economic output decreases. That is all fact. It isn't speculation, it is reality. This is the Fed's state goal. It's how they plan to reduce inflation. They can't affect the supply side, they can only affect the demand side. And that is precisely what they are doing. And if you have noticed, the GDP output for the last two quarters has been negative which is the usual definition of a recession.

What I have a problem with your assessment of the Federal Reserve is how you think it will impact pilot hiring demand. You're connecting a lot of dots that aren't filled in. And that's called speculation.
The pilot shortage trumps all. Even high interest rates.

You do realize Delta has 30+ 89k EMB 175s flying around right?
