Ok, so lets go back to the
"old days."
Do you think the company would be willing to give us back:
A defined benefit pension.
Line of time bidding.
Trips touching our 7th week of vacation.
C2000 pay rates.
And whatever else made the "old days" so terrible. I think 65% of the Pilot group would be willing to vote for that.
