Regardless of how old you are, how senior you are, or how junior you are; this is the contract of your career.

If you were furloughed and just came back to work recently, then these words are very very true to you. For, you know changes in scope that allows 900 nautical mile RJ's to capture the lions share of the domestic market may mean you will stay at the bottom for the forseeable future.

If you are super senior and want a big check before retiring that you know you are getting cheated with this so called signing bonus.

If you are a long term stake holder and have a dog in this fight for years to come, then this contract won't really be ammendable for the next 7 to 10 years. That's about how long it takes to negotiate with this management team, regardless of what it says in black and white regarding amendable dates.

This is not Delta plus a dollar. This is now how we collect on a past due loan. This is not what ALPA should be doing to further the profession and advance our issues.

The 76 seat RJ is a job stealer and a profession killer. Just say no! In the next contract management will increase the RJ range from 900 NM to 1200 and then go after the 92 plus seat RJ. They will advance their cause unless they know we mean business. Every 7 to 10 years management will do what it can to lower the cost of labor. That means putting more RJ pilots at the stick with lower wages. Outsourcing our jobs cannot be in the best interest of this profession.
