Hell the United and Continental FAs still don't have a contract and there's what 20000 or them.
I hope we understand that we have much much much more leverage than them. Expect and demand the best
Yet the AA FAs just got a 6% raise mid contract. Most of them are at $61/hr starting in April.
Our FA's will be at $51 in 5 more years. Looks like the rumors of the company desire for near parity at DOS+5 may be true.
I seriously hope our NC knows this is a non starter for us.
