I couldn't agree more. We won't have a chance until we have professional attorneys doing the negotiating. I don't care how good or well intentioned our pilot negotiators are they don't stand a chance against what the company has across the table. The pros should negotiate and the pilots should be the experts so to speak.

I once explained how we negotiated to a few of my friends who are successful lawyers and they just couldn't believe it. I believe the comment was you pilots think you're so smart.
