No its not before my time. I have been flying since the 90's.
We would all have better contracts right now if it wasn't for the places like PSA, Mesa and Gojets and the pilots willing to go there to undercut and get ahead at the expense of others. Eagle tried to STW and stand up for what was right in a time of record profits to just have their legs chopped out from under them by greedy upgrade hungry backstabbbers. If everyone said no collectively (which we tried to do with the ALPA FFD meetings) this BS would stop.
