I see something like that evolving into the baseline verification system. Can a CBA make you promise to waive your federal rights if you don't individually chose to waive your federal rights? Will any medical professional violate those rights based on an employer contract? Can the company dicipline you for not waiving your federal rights? Will any medical professional, regardless of who is paying the bill, attest that someone didn't have a vague grounding ailment when there is no way they can know if they didn't in the first place, and especially if dicipline could result based off their mere opinion? If so they could very easily be sued and sued hard. I can see pilots happily faxing in notes from doctors proving office visits and maybe pharma receipts, etc. Then again if the company is self insured they already have all that info anyway. If there really is some invasive form, what happens if pilots either don't sign it or better yet, sign it but line out the waiving of rights and write in that they specifically don't waive any HIPPA privacy rights?

Either way I see a lot of guys who come near 100 hours or that 5th call out lawyering up. Real lawyers too, not just phoning a rep.

Damn.

The 737-900 pay rate is higher than it was in 2008. What would you be saying if it was still there? When has an aggressive pay raise request ever worked? How did that work for APA? Southwest pilots work harder. You could bid the 717 and be senior.

Did I miss any?

Yeah, you totally went off the rails concerning my comment. Let me spell it out for you Lon-gevity-based-pay. If management wants to then fly Cessna 172s, I do not care, it will cost them the same. If they want to buy 500 747s... I still don't care.

If Boog123 missed your intent... he's the only one, T.

We'll stipulate to that fact T2 is on record (again and again) as being for longevity-based pay, your honor...

I don't get the arguments against LGBP. We all complain about stagnation or downward displacements. To me this is all alleviated withLGBP. It also completely rewards seniority. If Cal Flannigan wanted to do island turns on a 757 it would have cost him $40/hr or more. With LGBP he bids what he wants. It costs him nothing. Company gets rid of all WBs costs us nothing. Company adds 200 WBs it costs them nothing more.

Johnso's BS campaign crashes into the actuall numbers, Ouch!

You just explained why LBP is a bad idea. It deprives us of the means to capture the benefits of higher productivity aircraft. Whether the company wants to add seats without paying us, or keep seats constant, the choice is theirs.
