Every single part of the "New contract" that the AAY guys get from a stike will still have to be fought inch by inch through grievances and threats from middle management.....

Yeah man, my pay checks post Merlot were a disaster and I lost money, in part because I lost energy trying to constantly audit my checks and then squabble with payroll to rectify the errors. My spreadsheeting abilities are second to none though now. Heck, I know a captain who was overpaid in excess of 10k. So some were being paid too little, others too much...an absolute $hitshow of epic proportions. Merlot was actually so bad it made me laugh...and provided the necessary motivation to get out. I guess it was a good thing in that regard. Congrats on your new job.
