Well...a few things come to mind.

Many of you have valid points and many I agree with but some are just over the top or purely ignorant.

330 pilots getting paid less than 777?
Who cares?
1) they accepted the position with no EBA to fly a bigger a/c
2) they have the majority of the pay increase with the exception of junior Eject (spelling correction but thought I'd leave it in there) FO's.

Yes, 737 drivers are 'not' getting a payrise and there is no equality between fleets (777 to 737) for commuters.

Business class on duty travel (as well as staff travel!) - well this sucks - standard at most airlines worldwide that have business class and yet we don't get it. Lets keep using this point. Although this EBA will get up, we can make our point known continuously. I hate the fact I'm saying this but this is one of the no holds barred for the 'next EBA'.

Just a couple of points though...

Entertaining reading - keep it coming.
