I didn't have a problem with 55. I DO have a problem with my my T&C being chopped up by each successive DFO. I DO have a problem being short of the goals I set when I joined (through no fault of my own).
We're in the same boat, like it or not - I would like to see the 55 issue resolved to our mutual satisfaction, irrespective of contract. If you're thinking clearly, I'm sure you think it's a disgrace that the company is choosing to ignore bypass pay. But at the same time - if we're talking reparations - how about what they did to us?
I'm not in the same boat as MFL and others with 10, 15 or more years as an A scale captain. Ironically, I would like to see them leave as well, as they really did have the best years in this company - a lot of them...But, what's good for the goose etc.
While on the subject of wish lists, heres' mine (in no order):
A single payscale.
Variable retirement age, 60 max.
Line bid schedules.
Bypass pay.
A pilot as a DFO.
100% AOA membership.
A representative and more aggressive MEC.
Actually, any four would do.
