I think you are incorrect about a PD adding anything to your RAW score. It's a day off, you aren't working or getting credit for work. You don't get RAW credit for X-days either. Now, a SC, that's another thing!

Oh, and I'm sure Rush Limbaugh will have something to say about the greed of those Evil, over paid, under worked, Union Pilots as well...
And Rachel Madcow will have even more to say about the company's evil, corrupt, bigoted, scheming CEO's selfish intention of taking food from our children's mouths just for the joy of it all.

No, he's actually right about that. I saw a schedule for next month that has RAW credit for PDs on it

And as long as we're discussing ACL, I would agree with your description of "well informed" and "engaged." "Straight with people"... not so much. I prefer MEC leadership that has principles they are unwilling to compromise on and that does not change their principles with whichever the way the wind is blowing. Sorry.
Thanks for the kind words. My point was I have stated it on here many many times, and I am not going to waste the time to go look it up again. Period.

I am not sure how you do not see me as straight with our pilots. My position on Scope, Pay, Retirement, and DPA has not changed. We disagree on the means to the end, and that is fine. I am continually trying to find ways to increase leverage to get to the end game we all want. The airline environment is dynamic and the items that were part of the discussion three months ago have changed. The map and cheese is constantly moving.

What we have as facts right now are: We are less than 90 days from the openers, AMR is in CH11 and them sitting in court protection really screws with gains, and them surviving with a gutted contract is really bad for our pilot group(Pray they can stop it). That changes the discussion and pressure points. If you have a way to force the NMB and DAL management to give us restoration day one without AMR fragmenting, then lest see it.

We disagree on many issues and that is OK. It keeps the debate and dialogue alive. That is needed to move this group forward.

Spare me the righteous indignation and condescension. I don't have time to read every post on this thread every day. Sometimes I have to skip ahead.

I asked clamp a simple question about a statement he made. Seems I struck a nerve with you. You're going to have to brush up on your savoir-faire if you want to keep climbing these political ladders. Good luck with whatever it is you're trying to do these days.
I have responded directly to you, and to others with the verboten answer from the P2P website.

Oh and 88, even politicians need to have a harsh side to them as well.

In the end we both want restoration. I do not see the SWA CBA as the end all. It has many shortcomings to it. With the new FT/DT regs, going to their rules would be extremely short sighted and cost us pilot jobs and a ton of protections we currently have. I also think that domestically they have great scope, but outside of the intra US flying they could get clobbered if Kelly decided to take AMR's place in OneWorld. He literally would not even need to consult SWAPA. That is one thing I really disagree with you on. I do agree that we need to be paid better than they do, and am willing to look at any way that can get us there.

ALPA will get you the next agreement, like it or not. It is high time that we keep the reps honest, and get behind them. If we continue with this divided philosophy, we are in for a very nasty ride.

Call it 27% restoration if you want, but the total compensation improvement of both premerger groups get very close to Alfa's assertions.
Except we have to (mostly) fund our own retirements.

I'm not confusing things. His previous sentence dealt with the survey results and he said that they wouldn't be shared with us for "obvious" reasons. The next sentence dealt with the opener, and he stated what I posted earlier. Now we have people saying an LEC chairman got it wrong because their P2P volunteer said we would all get to see our opener.

Until the MEC mails us the opener, I'm believing my LEC chairman. But I also know the MEC has no opener to send to anyone...until they finish their meetings with the MEC's of our direct RJ competitors over what will be allowed into our scope opener.

True, but there are many sides to that. Payouts v frozen pensions et al. Alfa's point as I took it was added compensation to the group as a whole. Not what was brought from each pre merger side.
