Maybe it's because they lost the most, dollar wise, (over a $100/hr. pay cut and over a Million in their DB's) and have the least amount of time to recoup it, as this will be their last contract, but I have been flying with the most senior guys and they are very PO'd.

The F/O's on the other hand, seem ready to settle for a quicker, smaller, raise, with no talk of a job action from them. Maybe it's because they are already overextended, have kids in college and not willing to walk, where the senior Capt.s are about to turn 65 and be gone anyway.
