Management has used unreal threats against us in the past. Unfortunately, we keep getting fooled over and over again.

Drat!! All I'm seeing is an "American Pickers" marathon!

They don't... some people have a bit to learn.

Thanks.
Technology is a great thing!

(Please. No North vs. South discussion.)

But, seriously. If you want, I can dig the book up and find a way to put it in your mailbox/v-file, or whatever it's called.

All I can say is, if you are going to use an example.......make it a realistic one. What you did say was far outside the realm of possibility. Any arbitrator is going to see right thru that kind of senario. I will reiterate: career expectations are sooooo much more than just pay.

Maybe you are too many time zones behind. It will show soon.

It's Memorial Day where I am, so to all servicemen and service women:

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Looking to Off rotation deadhead at the beginning of a rotation from my base ( just want to leave later) to an outstation. Am I reading the contract correctly....are we not allowed to book positive space out of our base?

Hear! Hear! or is it Here! Here! Any way my sentiment is the same.

Actually I just saw the program listing. Here it is on the History International channel which, unfortunately, is one of those extra channels that is not part of my package. I do get the regular history channel and can get my fill of American Pickers and Pawn Stars for the next couple of days.

I also see a program on the same channel about Shermans March. I bet that's going over in a biiiig way down in 'lanta town!!

Like what? Flying larger aircraft; isn't that for higher pay? Better schedule; isn't that for higher pay(work less for the same or more)? A more stable carrier; isn't that for maintaining pay? A better retirement; isn't that for higher pay?

All career expectations are in forms of compensation which have a monetary value assigned to them. Why does Southwest have so many applications from Delta pilots?

I'm not trying to be a jerk I'm just curious what the other forms are?
