Let's be honest, our schedules are not bad at all but we negotiated to send three union reps up to Appleton to sit there and watch SS hit the submit button on the pairing optimizer. Meanwhile, well be paying them flight loss pay while nothing is accomplished. Yes as a whole our contract is well above average but five years to negotiate for a few small cruyear And to make matters worse, as mentioned here, the propaganda department is full throttle trying to sell us this year
