[QUOTE=Carl Spackler;1748967]C2012 will be 3.5 years in duration on the amendable date. How you can call that a "very short contract" is beyond me.

Really it was 3 and you know that. Tell us about the length of the contracts at other airlines!

Before any one feels to bad for Carl remember his hourly pay rate at NWA before the merger was 178 an hour. The tough NWA MEC had locked that in for 6 years with tiny raises.
Carl then 178.00
Carl today 340.00 effective pay rate with the DC plan and profit sharing.
Carls effective raise since the merger by the totally worthless ALPA?
90% plus a bit!
Epic fail according to Carl!
