What an embarrassment we've become.
I'm not sure I see the correlation. Pilots are an opinionated bunch and usually don't mind sharing them. I'm not sure you can draw any conclusions from it.
But, on the JCBA. It's my understanding, and I may be wrong, that most of it is done. We will live with what we have. The JCBA process is just to tie up loose ends and merge our contracts, but the bulk of the money issues have been decided. Any improvement(cost) will have to be offset in other areas and if we can't decide it goes to arbitration. Am I wrong? Because a lot of guys seem to think that there are major gains to be made.
