Why 3-4 years? Company will only settle when it becomes painful - if it's painful after 6 months I suspect they'll settle, if it's not painful 3 years into it then they won't. I just think it'll take about 2 years of negative emails from the NC about how negotiations haven't progressed on cornerstones, etc. to really gain the unity necessary to make people act...which in turn will make it painful for the company.
The last time we were in negotiations we just had our rumps greased by 4A2b. How unified were we then. If not then, when?
At any one time we have 33% of the pilots working on their high 5. The next contract that will be me, I understand the motivation. It will never be painful for the company. 4A2b proved that.
