They are blatantly lying to you. We are nowhere near a contract, unless we agree to FOs topping out at $41/hr and a paycut for Captains. If they lie to you about that, what else are they being dishonest about? This last negotiation session was fruitless. We'll meet again in a month. Lather, rinse repeat. Don't expect a new CBA anytime soon.
I honestly believe the company is waiting until a big hiring boom from the majors. Then our bitter old pilots will leave and they can lowball a contract on the newer guys.
