Gee, this evil, mean, nasty piece of legislation called the RLA was also the structure under which ALL existing mainline pilot contracts were negotiated. You know, the ones where all the FOs are well into 6 figures, sometimes above $200 an hour, and CA rates are that much higher. Go back and look at some of the inflation adjusted rates of the contracts signed just prior to 9/11.

But yeah, TOTALLY anti labor. I mean, no one could EVER expect to get a good contract under the RLA.

Or maybe, just maybe, **** poor regional contracts have nothing to do with the RLA.

But nah, that would take too much thought to reach that conclusion......
