Is this the secret to flying a 737? Eat bananas and never crap?

I would not use the word "sacrifice" but if you chart out a career's earnings, as many of us did, the losses and accumulated losses are larger the earlier in one's career that total earnings were reduced.
Further, those who held a percentage obviously have more than those who did not.
Now as to how you and Buzz "feel" ... I dunno.
Certainly our new hires will have opinions about scope, but they were off property when those changes were made. In as much as they have votes, their opinions matter as much as yours or mine.
If you want to say you have a greater sense of entitlement, OK. I got no problem with your feelings, but simple math still adds up the same.

Have you ever met Robert Reich in any of your gigs?
The 737's flight deck is like one of those houses from the middle ages; where you look at 45 inch long beds and ask; where do the feet go? Oh, well then, where does one put their head?
That thing is two gargoyles short of a gothic church.
The Mach Mach Number descent gargoyle
The Coverage Award gargoyle
The Advanced Entitlement award gargoyle
In any event, as with the gargoyles, most of us been hanging around in the same position for a long, long, time.

I've been on this board for a lot of years but don't keep up with it all that consistently anymore, so maybe I missed something. But I don't see the discussions taking place the past few days/weeks to be any different than any number of discussions we've had over the past years. It appears to me that a lot of the complaints about this thread the past couple of days are really just an attempt to silence dissent.
If you guys want to turn it into strictly a rumor thread, answer a few questions, post a few pictures, exchange BBQ recipes, etc., then I guess that's fine. It'll be one less thing to occupy a slice of my time... which is probably a good thing. Think about it. I can live with whatever you guys decide.

MD88,
"Dissent" about what our MEC and pilots have already ratified is a waste of time.
There is a distinct difference between dissent and vindictiveness. The DPA's error is that it failed to find that line and stay on the correct side of it.
Not saying that is you ... but we waste a lot of time debating C2012 while our Virgin JV is being negotiated, our Trans-Atlantic JV is in peril and we prepare for C2015.
Yeah, Tim and Scrappy went off the reservation. The MEC ratified the result and the pilots voted yes. If that concerns anyone, then the correct action is to write your Reps.
