Exactly. We're only talking about them because of the decimation of our pay through bankruptcy, due in large part to them running naked through the industry with their fuel hedges and low costs. They get credit for holding the line on scope with regard to code share, for the most part, but their business model has never lent itself to outsourced smaller jets feeding their jets. So really not much of a homerun for them there IMO. Their pay rates have been historically low and they pride themselves on never choking the golden goose, but rather ensuring a heathly company. Much different than ALPA pattern bargaining of the past.

Where is the March Raw buckets? March seniority list? Maybe they are working really hard on the next AE.... But I would really like to know what the buckets are this month! Someone must know.

Im going to be selfish for a second here. As long as the next contract is able to afford me this "Cigarette Boat" and I am able to save for retirement, then I am a "YES" voter

I guess the emphasis about being on time is no longer of import. LOA says it's to be out NLT the last day of the prior bid period. Here we are about 3 days later and nada.

I've been asking the same thing, but does it really matter? If you're in the top 10% you've got the month off.

I don't expect much change in the raw buckets for March. I would like to see the 2nd bucket start around 60 instead of 80 but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Like government mandated contraception and abortaficients cigarette boats are a fundamental right. Denying a man his nativistic need for the thrill of speeding across open waters is inhumane and cold hearted.

Seems to always work.

And congrats to who mentioned that a while ago.
