C2012 will be 3.5 years in duration on the amendable date. How you can call that a "very short contract" is beyond me.

Do you really think this poor attempt at deflection actually works? "All the pilots who were 100% sure..." didn't comprise a single member of ALPA's E&FA. Therefore those pilots had no role in advising an acceptance of 3%, 3% during the airline's most wildly profitable years. That distinction of sage advice goes to the ALPA E&FA folks.
Now Sailingfun, care to actually answer the point of the topic, or do you need to study what the next deflection should be?
