They can title it "Pilot Education on Contract Negotiations," "A Brief History of Contracts," or "Wake up people, we are close to the bottom"...I dont care. Im glad it is out there and I hope to see more of them.
You are right Juice. A 12 year pay scale is industry standard. Why should guys wait for 3 extra years to get the top rate?
