Nope...but it's not too bad. Our contract is up next year and hopefully we'll be able to achieve significant gains without earning another "battlestar pin."
*not trying to create a discussion about which airline is best. Just a point to those rejected and frustrated by SW that there are other descent options out there, be it DL, AA, NK, B6, etc...Personally, all things considered, I wouldn't accept a job there even if they handed it to me for free.
