There have been no bankruptcy filings at major airlines and no major airlines have gone out of business. Most who wanted a better contract understood the environment we work in. They simply wanted a upside if things change and the company does well. This contract has no upside, only a slow decrease in pay as inflation eats away at all of us. In 2015 if we get a new contract by then our earning power will be well below what it was in 2005 with the 1113 contract. Who would have thought that!!!!
