SLS - OK, whatever...I was paid some extra bonus money in a good year, so now the company wants it back in a bad year, and if management is in it as well, so be it.
CoS 08. Look, the train has left the station on that one. We didn't stop it when it was offered to guys in 08, now it's the latest CX contract craze on the street. Are we expecting to improve our (Cos 99) contract conditions and leapfrog the 08 guys who took CoS 08 with our acceptance(so now WE get RA65 AND higher FO pay?). At least the Captain B scales are preserved, and the freighter seats - both left and right - will now pay higher salaries. Based FO's will take a pay hit, this is true, but this may be the opportunity cost of working 10 more years at 200K+. To me, this offer works - as I desire to NOT retire at 55, but I wish there was a better alternative offered and one that covers the entire pilot work force - BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE, NOR HAVE I HEARD ANYTHING BEING WORKED OUT! So........F*&^%$ Yes, now - but I'll wait a few days to see if the impossible happens (won't cost me anything, I hope). Now I'll go have another Hurricane.
