Agree.
The ATL reps have been hearing what their pilots have been telling them. The contract survey is the most important piece to the whole thing. Pilots must convey they expectations in the survey for it to equate to a position at the table.
Most of the guys I fly with are looking for all sections to be fixed, and a sizable percentage above SWA as an absolute minimum. Even the pilots that are 57+ are saying this. I just flew with one who does not care if he sees the fruits of the contract, but he will not budge. Needless to say I applauded his point of view. (Yes, he knows scope and pay go hand in hand)
