I may be off in saying a lot of guys are leaving if this contract aint good but I'm not far off. Ive talked to a lot guys around my seniority and lowr, the just bypassed or about to upgrade and a lot are looking at this contract to whether to move or not. Lots of younger guys say they like the quality of life here and don't want to leave either, but their also looking with one eye at what the big legacys are making. Crap, deltas average profit sharing check was worth four months of pay for a FO here and they didnt have to do anything to get it. I'm under no illusions that we'll ever make more than a legacy pilot will but right now weve got two pilots working for what one pilot does at the legacys. That ain't right. there is a chance to get big pay, true retirement, ltd, scope, and keep our work rules, but we have to be very explicit with what we want. As the email from the union says, managment cant come out and say, "we can't afford it' when this place is making record profits. Profits they ain't sharing in. Yet.
