Yeah... half a decade of DALPA acting like this is just what we're stuck with will tend to do that. And the recent "Touch and Gos?" Just more expectations management, IMO. And the sad part is... it seems to be working to some degree.
FWIW, I think scope is critically important. And "50% and work rules" is what I say as a minimum too. And I think I'm being extremely reasonable with that, as it would take 70% just to get us back to the buying power we had prior to the pay cuts.
