PSA's contract actually has some parts that are heads and shoulders above the rest of the industry. There are bad parts as well.

The catch is, AAG will have to fix the pay scale and the 12/4 in the next year or so, or shut PSA down. Everyone knew that when it was voted in. The bad parts of the contract will be gone. How is that a loss for pilots?

Critical pay made PSA the highest paying regional in the industry, and the SAP made the schedules very flexible. The company stole critical pay away.
