Show me where I disagree with you.
You could not be MORE correct. It's better than any contract CAL EVER had. Not only that but it is years ahead of the pitiful CAL openers from December 2009. And I mean pitiful, howl at the moon you've got to be kidding me laughable.
But, CAL wasn't negotiating the contract. UAL and CAL pilots were. And believe me when I say a lot of CAL pilots were pretty excited about that. And while the contract we got indeed was by all measures far superior to any CAL contract, it did not meet industry standard of today, what Delta has and what American will have.
It is light years ahead of what CAL could EVER had achieved, you're right, golfer, but regarding your post, limiting the voters to a binary "yes to stop upgrades, no to keep stealing seats" is too limiting, and that's why...
