How do you define "concessionary?"

If you mean that each and every section and paragraph of the contract doesn't show improvements and some even show some reductions, then every contract in my almost 38 years has been concessionary.

What do you want?

Money, duty rigs, commuting ease, base availability, easy reserve (no short calls), or what?

Everything has a price and to broadly call something "concessionary" is being intellectually dishonest (and a bit hyperbolic).

If there were "good old" days in this industry would someone please let me know when that was. It's been a fight with management for the whole time I've been at UAL, so I don't know what some seem to expect.
