The military folks did not have to give up any rights to fly in the reserves, of course.

Has anyone bumped into BB recently?
I wonder if he has been "activated". He has some other job within the company now doesn't he?

The joke has not worn off.
But, I can understand if you have to bring it down but I think when you're in a heated argument about scope (i.e. somebody getting screwed over) you ought to bring it back up there.

Some of that is fine. I'm all for a cooperative relationship. But its gotten out of balance. The MEC has started to think like management. They view our contractual rights as a "cost". As something that only hinders the corporation in its quest for world domination.
Now they're on this website starting to soften up the audience for the next secret LOA or JV or whatever, to accomodate "shared flying" with JAL. They predict doom and gloom if we don't go along.
They may be right. (although I'm not entirely convinced). But if we are going to be taking all these risks in partnership with management then we should also share in the rewards. Its time for some financial restoration.
This JAL deal better include some money for the pilots. Its pretty obvious we aren't bankrupt anymore if we've got the resources to finance Japan Airlines' restructuring. We shouldn't have to wait another 3-5 years to get some improvements to our bankruptcy pay rates.
I hope the MEC will remember who they represent in this negotiation.
Quit explaining to me why the corporation needs this and that from the pilots.

The problem is that they and the rest of the Moak team continue to operate under the philosophy that its their job to help management make Delta Air Lines profitable. The Moak administration has put the needs of management ahead of, or at least on par with, those of the pilots.
