I dont expect ALPA to fix all the issues with JB. I just want a CBA to have some predictability for basics like annual COLA raises to keep up with inflation, and a legal way to enforce bidding/seniority/work rules. Stable insurance benefits and industry average retirement as well.
All great points and reasons for a CBA. I have still not achieved ALPA Zen. I'm trying.
