But my god, Donatelli is a joke. It's my first time seeing him and I found him totally unprofessional. He's an awful speaker and he talks down to the pilots he represents and he even yelled at one of them today who basically just stated that he wished the contract had more to offer.
Donatelli may be a smart guy, I don't know, but he definitely needs to leave the speaking and question answering to the negotiating committee.
Ed,
To tag onto what Timbo and Qball said, there are so many hidden gotchas that serve to reduce your pay, progression and QOL, I actually think this TA is cost positive to the company. Not worth $350M per year, instead a negative number...really.
