What is the hourly rate to adequately compensate you for hundreds of VX pilots put on top of you? Our Jr captain (someone close to yourself I think you said once) was working at Alaska before VX Existed. What's the rate, and do you really think Ben will pay you anything approaching that number? Ben has always been the "bad cop" in the Brad/Ben show BTW.

I heard the company #s are 5,3,1.5,1.5,1.5 very generous indeed!
I need 15,5,5. No 5 year contract for me but I have yet to vote yes now on 3 contracts. The union said Brad was willing to pay to make this go smoothly. Right

What I would like to see written into our contract would be:
Equipment lock: Whatever aircraft you were in April 4, 2016, You are locked into both FO and CA. *FO's can only upgrade on April 4, 2016 awarded equipment.
* the only relief would be if fleet size of either aircraft were to be reduced by more then 10% of April 4, 2016. At which time in reverse seniority order the reduced equipment CA's and FO's could displace to the other aircraft.
- No furlough for any pilot on either seniority list April 4, 2016 for 3 years after DOS
- No Pilot that held CA on either seniority list April 4, 2016 shall be displaced to FO during any period within 3 years of DOS
This would protect VX seniority on the bus and AS seniority on the boeing. Company would love it as it would save in training costs.
If we can get this written into the contract, I would be willing to take what arbitration gives us. Plus I would need that 15,5,5 % raise

BM is Ray Vecci all over again. Ask anyone who was on the property in 1992 what Ray did to the operation. VX pilots need to ask the same question. Or just take a look at what he "accomplished" when he took over Station Ops.
Junior VXers need to get their apps out.

I have heard about Vecci-bad joo joo. Once again, the ball is in management's court. They can either turn this into a good thing or completely screw the pooch. Hopefully history won't repeat itself. These are different times but greed is blinding.

This is the funniest joke I've heard since the last TA! The sad truth is that we have guys here who'll jump on this deal but then, what's new?

Believe me, it was a nightmare. Considering that AS has, what, 75 737s on order, it appears to me that sending the "Coochi" to VX means his mission is to let the Bus leases run out and shut the place down.

I believe your comment poisons the waters here by spreading angst to the gullible.
It's too early to get crazy about what might happen with the SLI.
Anyone who has studied the history of this industry will know there are cycles of good and bad, expansion and stagnation. These are very good times now. It won't always be this way. There are no guarantees.
There is a lot of BS on these forums and it should only be digested after being highly filtered.

I feel pretty confident AS wants most if not all of the VX airbus fleet. I think it's a better passenger experience and well the pilots have way more space then we do in the Boeing. Pretty sure the 319's will go when there leases are up. Think it's also a pretty easy way to keep all of us from steeping on each other's career expectations by separating by aircraft. The key is both fleets grow and both fleets pay the same. The # I heard was 75 buses and 225 737's by 2022. I know it changes on a Tuesday. But a fleet of 300, I could live with that!
