Who said anything about leaving people at a low rate? Yes I said it a while back but it was more meant to PO you rather than an actual idea I'd want to see go into effect. You're right if something like that ever did come out it would be shot down in flames and the guy who brought it back would be stoned to death.DallasConehead said:Now, in this particular post the weasel david realizes he has been making incorrect assumptions, (which is typical of twu loyalists) , he finds it hard to believe I could have come from a high cost city on the left coast. (But it is so).
Weasel david also claims to have concern about other workers when really this is his way of showing his concern about how much money he makes.
In this post weasel david again tries to show concern for what others make. Really whats going on here is weasel david is one of those guys that concerns himself with what everyone else is doing and what everyone else is making. In reality, he should be concerned with his own performance. But, to go on with the point he espouses to make:
The issue weasel david is not with what high cost cities should make, I don't care if they make $100/hr, just remember, for the high cost cities there has to be low cost cities, in the baggage handler world that is dfw, in the Airline Mechanic world, that is TULE. Let me explain something to you weasel david, while the membership in these 2 stations may agree with your espousal of more pay for high cost areas, of which I can count myself as one of them, the "supposed" union leadership of these areas does not. For any one of them to agree to high pay rates for other areas of the country and to leave their members at low pay rates is political suicide. Because, as you know, the majority of folks are IGMs, they will not vote a rep back into office that brought something like that back. As for me, I couldn't care less. You get the "alleged" leadership to bring back an agreement with higher pay for high cost areas and that issue wont stop me from voting for it.
Finally, in his post, weasel david again tries to belittle themechanic(you) by outing himself and claiming we do not have testicles unless we out ourselves. His choice, not mine, of which I still do have one right weasel david?
Of course you have that right at it's why there are many who come on here rather than FB. Easier to say certain things when you're not known publicly.
In reality what I wouldn't mind seeing happen is going to a flat BASE rate to match whoever out there has the most, Delta or UAL when they get to the money talks. From there let's just say the Parker 3 goes to high COL areas? So yea I would be below some other areas because the area I live in is not one of the top most expensive cities.
Anyway we've beaten the horse to death now on this issue and it's been confirmed pretty much to me that it's not going to happen anyway. You're right. The Political will to do it doesn't exist in either group. So all of us will more than likely eventually end up with the Parker 3 whether we agree with it or not. And you now also finally made your stance clear that you WOULD support it, so I'll take back the greedy label I have been hitting you with.
And lastly though stop trying to corner me that I've ever said you and your group should expect less than the best out there and then some. I'd love to read at the end of this that all of you were going up to $70.00 per hour (With all your jobs and more). I'd say WOW and congratulations. I just also hope you feel the same way about me and my group?
