In your chart you posted why does the entire column to the right have the difference as much higher than C2k minus this contract? They are all about 2000 dollars off unless I am missing something here. Not trying to point out errors, just wondering how those numbers were derived.

You realize there are two components to what you're talking about, right? One is the interface (ours sucks, no doubt about it). The other is workrules. Most of what you describe above, IMO is bad for pilots in the aggregate.
Reserves going in to pick up? What a great idea!
Unless you're a lineholder trying to WS...

I agree with Superpilot that the Cal system was better with regard to usability and it was "realtime." Where we disagree is in the fact that their work rule integration stinks so I'm not sure what he's raving about. We already have the ability for a reserve to pickup a trip...it's called a YS and when used properly it gives reserves like myself a lot of control.
I fear that we can tinker with our reserve system to the point where we ruin what is actually a pretty pilot friendly system. Proceed with caution.

This place has lost a lot of its unique character.
Its boring without the occasional cheerleader and bikini pics and such.
Please bring back the girls.

Based on today's AA announcement, ANYONE who thinks any ALPA/APA Pilot can get a 45% pay increase is smoking some mighty strong weed!

is that you?
Delta is doing a hell of a lot better financially than AA. $1.2 billion profit last year.
You may be aware that Delta pilots gave up a ****load in bankruptcy, including pensions, pay, and work rules. Saved the company a TON of cash. Plus, the relatively smooth merger, greatly aided by the pilots, is creating billions. Time to collect.
But thanks for your encouragement from the peanut gallery.

Well then, how about a 25% 'partial restoration' pay increase in exchange for a 2yr. contract extension, while Mgt. figures out what they want to do, wrt AA/USA/etc....?
