I'm in the bottom 200 so will be furloughed if it happens, I'm just not going to lose sleep over losing a $25000/year, non health insurance providing job. Don't get me wrong, I like the job (the flying not the pay), the people I've worked with, and the company for that matter, and I want to stay and see it get better. I'm just not going to jump when management says, "Boo!"

SHACK!!! Plumbers out there making $90 an hour to unclog turds from toilets. I think I have the mental capacity to do it. I am in 3rd year pay and still could make more at many other jobs. Never be afraid to go back to "work" for a living. If you are, it makes you weak and suceptable (sp?) to threats from the execs. Stand tall boys!!

You're in! I have to tell you though. At IAH, I don't find many Captains that are willing to stick their necks out very far. Most of them driving 90,000 dollar cars and ex wives, blah blah blah. Pictures of the cars and boats with them (none of their kids' pics). These guys can't last 5 days without a paycheck. That puts them in a very vulnerable situation. Look at how many are flying past 60 even though they lose a butt load off there lump sum every year they go past. This proves they would do the job for 125000 a year. If that were the long term goal, I would have never gone into flying. The good thing is '98 and on hires almost outnumber all of the rest. Guess what....we can out vote them now!! Time for some substantial pay raises.

Everyone at Cal is in! We all need to stick together! Hopefully old and new alike have learned the lessons of the past. To be fair most of the older capt's I fly with know how much a screw job the current contract is...lets stick together and change it!

When do we get to find out the details of the economic opener, as in actual numbers? Or is that not until voting time? I've been trying to follow the timeline, but it's been very dynamic as of late.
