Well...we still have 149 pilots on furlough... What are we as a pilot group trying to do to get them back? UPS just announced it is considering up to 300 furloughs. The IPA Executive Council sent out a letter to the pilots and in it it stated: "As we have stated in the past, if we receive a legally required written furlough notice, we will, at that time, but not before, call for an open time ban as would be our contractual right after receiving the notice on June 1."
I'm curious why we don't have an open time ban... Would our pilot group even vote to put such a measure into our contract? How do we look out for each other?

I do not pick-up open time and have never been junior manned. As Otto stated above, I can do it, how bout you?

Al, my point is that international airlines that receive substantial government subsidies and/or are owned by their respective nations governments are given a competitive advantage.
I am not interested, and I am sure you are not either, in debating protectionist economic policies between nations, but Continental and Southwest Airlines are very good corporations without any direct government financial involvement/ownership.
I do not mean to take anything away from Emirates or Air France or any of the others when comparing their "world" ranking in terms of the product they offer.
That was my only point.

There's an interesting difference between US and European carriers.
Labor costs per ASM are around 20% higher at European carriers!

Cal has a few good points but it is FOR SURE in the bottom of all jobs I've had including mowing and digging weeds when it comes to me feeling valued by my employer.

I answered my question. Also I guess "most admired" is different than making the 100 best companies to work for list. CAL was not on the 100 best list though FedEx was number 90.
How we pick the 100 Best
To choose the 100 Best, we conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. More than 81,000 employees from 353 companies responded to a 57-question survey created by the Great Place to Work Institute.
Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the survey, which is sent to a minimum of 400 randomly selected employees. The remaining third is based on our Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about demographics, pay, and benefits, and open-ended questions on philosophy, communication, etc.
Any company that is at least seven years old with more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible. To nominate your company, go to www.greatplacetowork.com. After our evaluations are completed, if news about a company comes to light that may significantly damage employees' faith in management, we may exclude that company from the list.

False advertising if you ask me.
