If you think our future is leading towards the homogenized cal style contract you couldn't be further from the truth. Don't kid yourself thinking this pos contract passed on it's merits. Almost every pilot I spoke with said the contract was substandard, but voted for it anyway. This trend, you so describe, has a finite life span.
