Here are the facts: I will be making 15% less in 2015 than I did in 2004...11 years later!
Did anyone really expect that we would make any significant improvements in 2 months of negotiations?
Barring the company throwing us a pile of money and work rules, I would expect that any truly significant contractual improvements would/will require a very large battle on our part.
Remember, the majority of the pilot group has lost
billions in the last eight years. I hope our group has enough resolve/fight left in us to regain a large portion of that loss.
We will know soon enough.
