If the negotiating strategy is 15-25% payraise, that is merely a continuance of a bankruptcy contract. Our union had better get this right, the first time. By all accounts, anybody on this property >15 years (12 year payscale), captain or Jr wide-body copilot, has given the company approximately 300K in wages over the last 6 years. Enough of bankruptcy wages & contracts.
