It really is amazing how people perceive similar experiences though. With the exception of one trip in 2014, I've felt pretty much 180 out from JDFlyer.

Considering FO pay (particularly after a new contract likely later this year), work schedule, and people, I've been really happy with overall QOL...
New contract later this year?! Dude, you're delusional. Negotiations WILL drag on for several more years.
Bottom line:
The company's crossed their arms (and put a lock on its pocketbook), and neither SWAPA or the pilot group have the balls, mindset, or organization to do anything effective about it.
I've been through this several times now. The writing on the wall is very easy to read.......there will be no new contract for A WHILE (unless we agree to "flattish").
