The key word in RLA contracts is "amendable". There is never a termination date. You could be working for your current rates for years to come.
And "retro" pay? Perhaps a "signing bonus." But full retro is a pipe dream.
Well, let's burn this place down and hand the keys to you guys! All hope is lost!
Listen, buddy. We're doing our best to get a leading contract. I'm sure we will get a much better deal soon enough. I'm confident that our guys won't ratify anything less. In the meantime, our job is to keep doing our job. Flying from major city to major city is what we do here. We aren't flying passengers on an rj that bought tickets on your website for **** wages. That is where your gripe needs to be.
