Absolutely. SWA is raising the narrowbody bar. Glad someone is. There's too many VX, B6, AGT and RAHs lowering it.

So since we are furloughing too, that makes it ok?
And since we are "undercutters" for flying different size equipment for less money (which is a silly comparison anyway..) what do you say to the fact that you fly a 73 for less than about 3 other carriers out there? Are you undercutting them to since you come to work everyday and agree to fly for those rates?
Man, I think you should quit and show management whats up!

The Alaska pilots had an arbitrated agreement forced on them. Keep in mind that those payrates were never voted on by their pilots.

No they didn't. They voted to accept arbitration.

Reminds me of this little jewel that still sits on the ramp in PHL.
Note the "Mission Accomplished" on the side.
Kinda makes me want to add "until....."

Again, WRONG. Arbitration was a standard part of our contract for 20 years. We actually voted to remove arbitration. This is our first non-arbitrated contract in 3 decades.
You just don't tire of demonstrating your ignorance of the topics discussed in these threads, do you?

You voted for that contract didn't you? Or was that "forced" on you as well?

Wait, wait, wait.
You mean to tell me that even if it was something forced upon them by mgmt, they are not responsible for that?
Kinda like how this flying was forced upon RAH pilots by mgmt?
Now, tell me again why we should quit our jobs.
Now tell me why the Alaska pilot group didn't collectively quit and storm out to show mgmt "what's up".

And once again, skydog demonstrates his ignorance. It used to be entertaining, but now it's just pathetic.
I never said you should. You must be thinking of someone else.

I'm glad someone finally had the guts to come out and tell the truth about RAH. I completely agree with MusketeerMan!

Short memory here...who's Alaska's union and who was their union at the time? Curious.

ALPA.

Maybe so, but I notice you didn't respond to my point.

Again, you don't know what you're talking about. Until the last go round we had MEC Ratification of contracts. The rank and file never got to vote on anything.
Don't you EVER get tired of being wrong?

There's no point to respond to. You're simply wrong, as usual.

Agreed, yet it's better than nothing. Considering it's the damn Railway Labor Act.
Thankfully we will have a pro-labor President here in the next few months. Wouldn't be grand if we were able to get an "Airline Labor Act" in place instead of using a three quarters-century old Act for railway labor?
Nevertheless, to think that if McCain would have won the RLA would have surely disappeared in less than four years.

Yeah. And replaced it with baseball arbitration...every Republican's dream labor scenario.

What if I were to say to you; "Don't you ever get tired of being perceived as a jerk?" I'm thinking that would promote a negative reaction from you, and probably not do much to convince you of the validity of my viewpoint, no matter how right I might be, eh?
I'm of the opinion that your posting/writing style tends to hurt your cause more than help. I'd really rather see you doing good things for your cause(s), because believe it or not I'm in agreement with a lot of what you preach.
