I truly did not mean that (but I was posting on my phone and kept it brief). What I should have said was that senior capts care far more about pay rates and DC contributions than perhaps narrowbody and RJ issues--and that is understandable, and also explains that it is very difficult for the negotiators to please all the pilots all the time.
What I did not mean was that I thought they were all "got mine, so up yours" in approach--they are not!
Herkflyr,
No harm, no foul.
We agree this TA is a turd in a punch bowl... however I will reserve my final thoughts after I hear and read the details.
Wish us all well!!
Fly safe,
