Such a great example of how management doesn't even have to fight very hard with guys like this in our union. We should be asking for C2K restoration by using the SWAPA contract and company as an example of pattern bargaining. We make more profit than SWA...but if the pilots of Delta even think about asking for SWA pay and QOL, we're "bleeding the company dry." Amazing.

OMG. You can't even discuss hypothetical questions without attacking. I'm asking if there's a way to structure the contract so we get paid properly (good raise), protect ourselves when they make even more money (increased pay) and provide a floor (never lower than X%) on what they can take back. I'm not suggesting evil contract thoughts but asking questions about how we do business. Are you really so blinded by bitterness that you can't even discuss a view that might contradict your views?
