Imagine if you won the grand prize of $50 million🎩! Wow! Or 2nd place with a shinyyy new Cirrus SR22 🛩! 10 lucky pilots would get consolation prizes of a sporty Mazda Miata 🚘! Imagine rollin' up to the employee lot on that? Or trade in you're winnings for the rights to the Mystery Box🔮! Is it suitcases full of cash? Deeds to PTC/Park City mansions? Maybe a Boat? All of the above?

Same stuff, different day.

Our leaders are doing a perfect job.

This is by far the best negotiating environment in our history and we have outstanding negotiators.

The beat way to succeed is to support them 100%. Don’t let a vocal handful destroy your future. Scope is everything for our new pilots. We couldn’t have a better scope chairman.

All I ask for is pilots taking the side of pilots. That includes looking at this from every angle. If you go accusing every pilot who disagrees with your brand of cheerleading a management goon you're gonna find yourself pretty alone under that tent.

Our MEC chairman and MEC have provided clear and constant communication. Couldn’t be better in my opinion.

I believe I am in a majority of over 14,000.

How many in the haters club in your opinion ? 30? 50?

First of all I hope gzsg is right. But I hate to say I’m feeling pretty cynical about what will be achieved and how long it will take.

Better yet, just make the amendable date July 1 instead of January. Then put a pill in the contract that prevents the company from issuing premium pay after the amendable date. Some gonna gripe they can't make it rain all summer, but what percentage of legs operated on the summer are done on premium pay? It would take 48 hours to have one helluva deal.
