Shep, some people will just never get it.
Those that think bases and freighter commands were taken "out of seniority" when they were offered to all, in seniority order, will just never get it.
The argument that the pay was lower so therefore it's "out of seniority" is not valid. Anyone who has ever worked at an airline with a REAL seniority system and different pay for different aircraft knows this.
The old "save the bullet for the real fight" has been heard time and time again. The bullet is not a bullet, it's a carrot.
Didn't we hear the same arguments before the LAST pay adjustment passed by a 75% vote? When was the bullet, that was promised to be used for FTLs, used?
My guess: the majority will roll over just like they always have and always will. The pilot group will be further divided, as intended.
