+1 This is what we need to be aiming for. Not just the same old contract plus a moderate payrate increase. The whole thing needs to be adjusted back towards making Delta a top tier career. It could be argued that we're not even in the top 5.

Has anyone seen Expressjet's (yes I said Expressjet) contract/workrules? I know they're not a peer but most of the scheduling rules are FAR superior to ours. If it weren't for our payrates, it wouldn't even be close.

I hope we widen the net considerably when we decide which other carriers contracts we consider to be peers.
