Your vacancy language is a joke.

You have the lowest pay across the board.

You work rules are the FAR limits.

You sacrificed your entire last contract for "scope".

You are not going to fix the entire contract this time around. Pat at the NMB will let your reps know that fact next month.

No one over hear is giving up, we just know how the system works and exploit that system to all of our benefit.
