As a reminder, to add to one's "Ignore List":
User CP>Edit Ignore List...I've just exercised this option.
Good for those folks who post useless drivel or who are dishonest.

Padre2992 = Industrial Psychologist, which is really just a polite term for one engaged in activity that is negatively directed towards labor.
not a Delta Pilot. Not 1 Delta pilot or any pilot would agree to your 11% or any of your stuff your throwing out here
My guess is Padre2992= is Slowplay of the Strategic Pessimism Committee

I agree, the slot swap sucked.
The company already feels we've been paid back for our contributions regarding the merger. The NMB doesn't care what the synergies were. They (the NMB) are living in 2012, and asking what have you done lately?
If a person doesn't want to participate in future steps, it's an option. We could follow the traditional path to Section 6. The value of whatever the company wants to exchange for our expedited contract would disappear. It's a choice.
Most pilots I talk to don't think 11% is enough. Most certainly think that 43% is for the lunatic fringe.
Hoserpilot, "Padre seems to know it all. He has an answer for everything except his base and a/c."
Even staying in a Holiday Inn Express wouldn't qualify me as an Industrial Psychologist, or get me into a cubicle. Why does one have to know what seat and category a person is in? If he's in a position junior to you, does that make his logic less sound or his posts less valuable? Evaluate the words and thoughts, not the person.

Hey Padre;
If we all put you on our ignore list, does that mean you will lose your job?

That's a different debate.
The 737 is a much more capable aircraft. It can fly from SLC to SJC and from SJC to JFK. Both probably much cheaper than the 88.
Because it is more capable, it should be paid more. Why? The pilots didn't buy it. We are only equipment operators. We don't get any extra bonus because of the way we operate the airplanes.. i.e. fuel underburn, saving time, etc... why do you suppose that is?
I don't even think the 88 can fly from SLC to ATL on a hot summer day, unless you take off without a full load.
I'm not trying to disrespect the 88 pilots (but you will anyway), because they work equally hard. It's just that when the pay was established on the 737N, it was high because of the contributions it made to the company bottom line. So, because it was done that way in years past means it is just as valid today?
The "Rogerina" made me smile. Excellent creativity

He's gonna have to recruit every year for the NBA, because it appears that he is the king of one and done. College basketball is being ruined right before our eyes... might as well start paying 'em.

Yep, and its a shame. I'm from Chapel Hill and a UNC fan. Three of their best guys are bolting...at least they spent two years at Carolina.
