Because all the things you just listed do not equate to leverage for a pilot group. Leverage is when you have something they need so they are forced to give. They've made more money in the previous year than the previous decade so the fantasy that some of our group spreads about our contract not working well-enough for this new model is just that. Fantasy. It's an outstanding contract in corporate's eyes. And hey, if there's something in the CBA that hasn't worked for them they've simply not complied with it. Do you know what our recourse is for that? Fly it anyway and grieve it later. Maybe you'll get an extra day off or some cash in a year for it. Either way the entire system, from the NMB process to the way contract compliance works, is shifted greatly in the a company's favor. The only leverage we'll have is when/if the NMB finally decides we're at an impasse. That usually takes years.
