You guys are more insulated from the negative aspects of this contract proposal and just want to put a few more bucks in your pocket before you punch out. I don't entirely blame you but somebody needs to be a voice of reason for the guys on the bottom/ middle of the list and not buy every bit of hooiey being sold by guys like you for your own self interested reasons.
Jack ignores reality. This contract offers virtually nothing to senior pilots unless you are taking the early out. The negotiators even admit its biased to the bottom of the list and the MEC members agree. The contract if it passes will pass on the votes of the junior pilots and they will vote for it with a higher percentage then the senior guys.
