You guys clearly despise anything that makes us look like other than perfection. DAL88driver wasn't nearly as tough on us as I was.
Again, nobody had a company that's more financially successful and in a better position than us with C2012. Nobody. We had a chance to demand an industry leading contract in every way. Even if it was just marginally leading. Instead we settled for COLA pay raises fully funded by concessions in other areas, while adding 70 additional 76 seat RJ's. in my opinion, we blew it. We took the very first offer from management before Section 6 even began.
We may not have gotten help from the others, but no other union was in a better position to lead than us. We squandered that opportunity and hurt the rest of the pilot profession in the process.
