I'm against those things. There's more to contract negotiations than pay tables, restoration or a Cadillac a month. Work rules in particular are huge when it comes to hiring.
I'm quite curious now that this has been brought up. Do you think negotiations could heavily impact the hiring rate? I realize anything is on the table when it comes to negotiations, but man I hope it doesn't slow things down too much.
Being on this side of the fence (eight years) and looking over trying to find a way in is hard enough. If anything slows it down again it's just that much more discouraging. I have all the apps filled out - I'm smarter than waging on one company, but Delta is #1 for me.
