...while those 747 guys keep their pensions (frozen--but at least they exist).
Finis, I'm glad you're able to cash in on another 5 years of 777A pay. I am. But don't come here and tell us we should be happy with the stagnation on the bottom third of the list while you've got yours.
How many times have you said something like, "things are about to get better" or "we'll get them next time."
You don't even need "things to get better" or a "next time." Face it: you're an automatic "yes" voter on any contract, as long as your hourly rate doesn't go down.
Scope? You don't care. JV abuse? Meh. You're on your 777 either way. And your attitude shows it.
Your exhortations that junior guys should play ball, suck it up, and trust "our" "union" are misguided at best and arrogantly disconnected at worse. Please stop.
