I'm getting dangerously close to having to read his stuff, and decide for mys...

Nah. Send in the equites!

Or burn him, whatever.

We need tighter metaphor orthodoxy, around here.

There are certain logical conclusions which are irrefutable.

1) If he is made of wood and weighs the same as a duck then he is a witch.

2) If Delta makes $1.6 bil in one quarter and Ed is sleeping well then the pilots need at least a 25% pay raise on day one.

American is the new main competitor.

RA bumped the FA pay just in time to force Parker to beat it for his FAs.

The American pilots are days away from a TA with our rates plus 5%. Would RA bump our rates 14% now just to make Parker match plus 5% for his pilots?

There is no avoiding our increases. Pay us now or pay us later.

Why 14% Jerry?


Days away huh?

Just curious gzsg, where did you glean this AA= DAL+5% bit of info from? If true it can only help us! Oh, and TSquare, some Forumers are making wild estimates (very wild IMO) about the manning saved by banding. What kinda manning savings do you suppose LBP would entail? Either way a lot of training churn is saved. The jobs vacated by retirements would of course have to be filled... absent the airline shrinking. Using my incredible psychic powers I'm gonna predict LBP isn't gonna happen but banding is likely.

I get that, but what's the genesis of it? Is it just a number thrown out by somebody? It doesn't meet 88s required 42% by a long shot. I also think that if we were to get that here, the usual suspects would go into meltdown mode. But since APA only got 5%, how can we even expect 14%? Doesn't compute.
