Did anyone think we would have any chance of meaningful restoration without a fight?
If we have any hope of truly restoring this profession, we will have to go to the mattresses. Period. (It definitely won't come from a 2 month, Neville Chamberlin, peace in our time, TA.
This not an LOA/MOU. This is our 1st section 6 since BK. I would hope our goal would be significant (i.e., large) gains in all areas of the contract.
I for one, am not ready to throw the towel in on this profession. I hope that the majority agrees.
I did not work under C2K as I was at NWA. I have to say that this contract puts the pay rates
above the NWA pre bk rates (restoration?). With C2K, how much was put in your 401K account by the company, which is your money not matter what the company decides to do?
