So you want to hold up contract improvements to make a point? That makes no sense to me at all. Not trying to be disrespectful, but contract compliance has ALWAYS been an issue for as long as I've been here. And I'm sure always will be. I wouldn't think that would be a reason for not negotiating contract improvements.

As far as SJS. I highly doubt it. I'd wager that 90% of the UAL pilots on the present seniority list will not benefit 1 ounce from having 100 seaters on the property because the pay is so low there is no incentive to bid it. Doesn't mean it's not an important piece of the contract pie, just that I don't think it's "enticing" to those of us that have been here awhile.
