I flew with one of the union guys that was involved with C2012 about a year after the contract went into effect. I mentioned that I though we could have done much better than 4/8/3/3 and I was informed that the raises we got from C2012 in terms of percentage increase, over the 4 years exceeded any other contract in the history of ALPA. Including C2K.
They were pretty proud of the raises we got, dispite some of us being underwhelmed.
Now cue TSquare asking me how I would have done better and asking me my plan for raises/restoration going forward.
I say we just ask for everything we gave up before and during BK. No raise, just give us what we gave up. Adjusted for inflation, of course. And we will keep any other improved areas of our contract and we can call that the juice on the loan
