We clearly have different agendas. You have enjoyed an extra 5 years on the top of the scale, and are happy with any contract that doesn't reduce your take-home pay. Having gone through a lot of ups and downs in your career, you may be thankful for this period of relative stability as you coast out, and don't want to rock the boat. And you've earned that.
I have a much different perspective and much different goals. I value time off more than a great hourly rate. And now we have neither. We gave away far too much in C2012 based on the company's profitability and needs. ALPA is not looking out for me or my peers.
As I said, we have vastly differing agendas. I apologize for calling you "arrogant."
