Haven't you seen all the rest of the airlines walk all over the pilot groups over the past 10 years???
I agree that all contracts have loopholes, but at least with a CBA you have the opportunity to file a greivance over the dispute. We have no way to even attempt to fight something the company tells us. Look at the coming Pay Review process changes. Its going to be a ram job and we have no way to fight it.
