OK, I like the way you think, but......... APA already bargained everything away. The industry leading leftovers of the AWA contract (yes, I know there wasn't much) and the remaining good things of legacy US..... GONE, or at least soon to be. Trip duty rigs, IVR jump seat system, LTD, etc, etc. Buh bye. They also agreed to binding arbitration, so if we turn this down, how do you think we'll fair with an arbitrator? Don't get me wrong, I'm thankfull for the merger and understand the APA wanting to get rid of Horton, but we won't be matching you for a long time. Could you walk in my resume? 
There is a way, but unfortunately many of today's pilots are timid, conservative and dont really want to rattle the cage. The era of 911, bankruptcy, layoffs, threats etc has done its job of resetting our wages.Best of luck to all of us. I guess we have succumbed. Just make sure APA and AA give you Delta of C2015 not of C2012.

We are all held hostage by this, arent we? There is a way, but unfortunately many of today's pilots are timid, conservative and dont really want to rattle the cage. The era of 911, bankruptcy, layoffs, threats etc has done its job of resetting our wages.

I suppose listening to that conference call was a little uplifting. I love our scope dude, for anyone who hasn't heard how passionate he is listen to the audio clip of him on the apa website. He backed it up on the call, he was at a lost for words!

I was in attendance for our DFW Domicile meeting this past Monday. It was great to see the hall full of people that were dead set against scope. Hearing it from 777 Capt's who at the twighlight of their careers could give a crap about it made me feel better about where the membership is on this issue (not just the jr folks). Scope is DOA here...any form of it.
