So we get stalled by a strike right now, but......we are a major carrier, and obviously critically important to a variety of needs of the U.S economy! Lets make sure we now erase any previous 'contract wishes' and start brand new. I propose we become the highest paid MD80, A320, and 757 pilots in the country. Best medical coverage, cafeteria plan, retirement, days off minimum 15 for line, 14 for reserve, and so on. Make the absolute diamond level contract for our very very important pilot group. We now need to stand strong, and make MG and the stooges PAY for our critical importance!
