Compensating your employees appropriately is part of having a "very healthy company." Screwing your employees over, just because you can, is ultimately counterproductive to a company's "long term interests." I have no doubt that the company can find a way to pay us appropriately... just like they found a way to get $1.26 billion in new fees or to survive a summer (2008) that included $140/barrel oil. LM and his "proactive engagement" has shielded the company from the normal consequences of mistreating employees, and has hurt the very pilots he was supposed to be representing. We can keep making excuses for why we shouldn't be paid like the top notch professionals we are. Or we can start advocating that we be compensated appropriately. I'm in favor of at least trying. Quitting... especially giving up on something for which I've worked so hard and my family and I have made so many sacrifices... is not in my nature. Sorry.

Wow! $1.26 billion!!! And all they had to do was pull a fee out of their butts to charge for something they didn't used to charge for. Seems like at least a partial restoration of pilot compensation (to correct our current emergency/BK compensation) might not be all that hard to recoup... Hmmm.....

Or, in other words ... without after the sale fees, we'd be losing money.
So, do we capture the revenue on the ladies that carry four bags on the airplane and five blankets off the jet? Besides, what do these women do with all of our blankets? I've never been in a house and thought "... this place could really use a bunch of bright red blankets."
IMHO we need to be more diligent ensuring the first 80 folks on the airplane leave some room for the passengers coming behind them.. and while I'm on this rant ... can't believe the commuting off line FA's that bring FOUR and FIVE bags on the jet, throw them in the first class section, or first row of coach, then find a jumpseat, while revenue bags are tagged and put downstairs.
As for huge raises am I the only one thinking the company isn't really making enough to replace the 757 and MD88 fleets in a few years? Sure we need raises, but our goal should be balanced with our long term interests.

On the Navtech PBS desktop program, when you open it after you put in your ID number and password, another screen comes up to show sychronize. Before you sychronize you can select options to get all the past months as well, but not necessary to get your current month into .ics format to be read by iPhone. It can also be uploaded to the MSFT Office schedule.
After sync is complete, PBS opens. On the top left, select Tools and scroll to Export Schedule to Calender Application. Whole range of options, but select .ics and save to desktop.
Now you can email that file to iPhone, or if you have Office, double click to open, or open Office and select File scroll to Import and Export, highlight .ics file and you can make it its own calender or merge with your regular calender. Clear as Mud?

But, I've gotten the .ics file as an email attachment on my iPhone but the next screen is blank and nothing merges into the calendar.
What am I screwing up the iPhone end

How to Sync Google Calendar With iPhone Calendar
Oh, and the best news is the phone numbers on the rotation are now one touch dial links. I'm in heaven, just like the old EZopenboard!

This coming from the person who so accurately predicted that all junior folk were getting furloughed this month.
How's that looking glass working out for you? Last I checked, I'm not going to be relying on you for futures info on our company.
