You are so out of touch it's alarming. You can thank Wendy and JP for completely destroying whatever leverage we had via the DOJ. After that, it was game over for us, and the company knew it.... as demonstrated by the pace of negotiations before and after DOJ approval.
Our contract may not be great, but considering he was fighting the company AND JP, I think JH pulled a rabbit out of the hat. As a LUAL pilot you ought to know that time was the enemy, and the deal needed to get done ASAP.
