Now ask yourself how often management says how did those crafty pilots talk us into this contract?
Why you ask? Simple. Have you ever seen a management team rush themselves into a contract that favors the pilots? Heck no. The only way they let ANYTHING good out the door is when they have fought the good fight and have run out of options.

Strang their tactics seem to work so well for them....
I'm sure management was caught off guard with trip parking.

I bet they were like "what the hell?!? Those guys found a loophole and now look, they're picking up so many trips that we don't need as many pil... oh wait... what the hell?!? How do they do that to themselves? You know, what was our first offer? 30% over 3 years? Yeah, just do 19% now."

Trip parking being banished is huge. That makes me smile. Probably ****es off the top 10% who've been getting over for a long time. It's one of the things I do like about this TA.

It should've ticked all of us off.

But I think something just as detrimental replaced it. Kind of like the RAH debacle, they gamed our scope but our language is so weak we can't fight them over it so on the TA we'll improve the language... and then exempt them.

I guess I just haven't seen someone important change their vote on something like this since... well, it's been a few hours.

it's okay Ferd. I don't think he meant it in a bad way. remember Buzz is ahead of the societal evolution curve, manure pilot may be the same as saying you're as cool as that Maverick guy.

And you've got to admit, your FB profile pic of you back in your service days kind of gives people that impression:
