I know I'll probably set you off on a name calling frenzy...but here goes...
We were offered your contract, and we turned it down. The scope concessions were too much to take, and money isn't everything.
Jeff Smisek was asked "why didn't the UAL pilots get a fast contract like DAL?"
His response was "the UAL pilots aren't as helpful as the DAL pilots are."
So you guys can keep bragging about how you get contracts fast, but we are not willing to take a fast deal which will outsource CRJ-900's. We drew a line in the sand, and we are SACRIFICING money for the sake of more important things. You can negotiate $500 per hour, but if there are only 10 pilots left....did you really do yourself a favor?
The CRJ900 will replace a TON of your domestic flying. DAL will shrink the mainline and get more scope out of you with every new TA.
Keep bragging about your small pay raise that you help to fund with less profit sharing and concessionary work rules!
