You must live a charmed life Ram????? (Healthy, top 10% of earning in America, interesting occupation etc.....)
Something tells me if you were at SWA, B6 or... you name the place, the contract wouldn’t be of your liking either.
When you retire, 65 or earlier hopefully things will become perfect for you.
Before you "pull the trigger" hopefully you will be on the negotiating committee and get us a "great contract"... then I can become “you” on APC
I concur with a few of your complaints but... I think, the positive(s) out-weight the negative(s) at NK and the current contract; Just my humble opinion.
For a place that came fairly close to shutting down(at $140+ oil) and at the time, had less than 40 planes, I think the group/union did alright under the circumstances. (once again just my opinion)
I know... the “Law Man’s” contract under JC would have been much better
