5 years ago, the net jets pilots voted to turn down the initial TA. A year later, they received 40% more with much better work rules. The CEO came out and publically stated that he was sorry that he underestimated the resolve of the pilots.
And their business is stagnant. They have 400+ guys on furlough with no sign of recalls. There recent jet orders are not growth aircraft either. Maybe not a good example.
