By far the biggest penalty in a LGB...P scenario is the staffing impact. We're trying to add more DL pilot jobs, and that was just shut that off as the training churn would be significantly lower. I would imagine that would cost several hundred jobs, if not more. Truly a manager's dream.

1. All equipment will pay 2004 777 rates, adjusted for inflation.
2. All those with lost/frozen DB plans will be made whole, into their DC plans.
3. All medical plans will have zero deductibles and be 100% company paid, for life.
I'm sure you guys can come up with a few more...

Like Timbo said, it all depends on the pay rates involved and other QOL protections.
And with that being said.... notgonnahappen. I do see us trending more toward banding and would not be surprised to see some more of that in C2015.

This is gonna be the elephant in the room in C15. Yesterday's paper had an article about how "the unions" are now upset at what they see coming down the pike with the ACA. Costs are gonna go up, and somebody's gonna have to pay for it. The current occupant of 1600 Pa Ave farted, and nobody is gonna smell it until he's out of office for 2 years...

Which is precisely why I don't want to talk about it anymore. I have zero willpower though. Speaking of that, was there really a driver in the Indy 500 named Will Power? I'll bet his callsign was Max.

Hopefully they were given a blanket party by all the guys who would have been furloughed due to massively increased productivity this incredibly stupid/from a pilot perspective/ idea would have caused. Probably the bottom 15 %of the list. Tell me your address an I'll be sure to attend the next beating if you mention this company antipilot wet dream again.

Can you send me a link to that article? I'd like to check it out.
