Exactly. Our battle cry for C12K should be SWA pay for small narrow body planes is the starting floor, significant scope recapture is mandatory, Alaska and AF are growing like gangbusters while we shrink just to stroke off the "capacity discipline" crackberry gamblers and our bankruptcy work rules need significant restoration. Oh, and COLA IS NOT A RAISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We should not tolerate any manager or union patsy who tries to peddle the snake oil of "a raise over the life of" that doesn't fully back out all expected cost of living increases of at least 5-10% per year. That is a financial headwind that must be fully accounted for FIRST just to have a zero raise break even contract extension. Only money above that is a "raise" and even then every penny below SWA isnt a raise but low cost carrier parity.

9-11 is over and the company should have gotten that memo by now.

Further chopping up our seniority list for bigger aircraft so they can play fake phony financial trickery is a path we really shouldn't be going down.
