American Pilot Union Sends Pay Response to Airline
Here we go. Crank up the Stones. Time to start 'em up.
This afternoon the Allied Pilots Association sent its section six pay proposal to the airline.
For those of you with enquiring minds, you can access more information concerning the proposal by clicking here.
While I haven't had time to read through all of the finer points of the proposal yet, one part concerning Holiday Pay did catch my eye.
Apparently APA leadership considers Super Bowl Sunday to be a national holiday.
Why does this remind me of the old United Airlines' pilot contract -- the one that paid a pilot to have his piano tuned if the airline forced him to change domiciles?
Guys, sorry. Good try, but I ain't buying this one.

OK...I'm a pilot sympathizer... since I used to be one. But things like Super Bowl Sunday being a holiday are why my former pilot colleagues are sometimes seen as "whiners" by the uninitiated.
