They're professional pilots.
Not professional negotiators.
Can we at least agree on that?
Not once in 20+ years have I seen the pilot group actually win something of significance. The financial success of the company and the rising tide of the industry is essentially the perfect storm. It doesn't get any better than this. The company saw that clearly and JUMPED at the NMB.
Why? The RLA is always in the company's favor. FDX wins again.
Maybe you guys are right.
Let's just take the short term money and move on.
It's the path of least resistance.
