That's what you get when you have a SAPA President that hasn't flown the line in over 6 years and senior pilots on your negotiating committee. In fact, the EB that was in place during the pay vote had the Pres, VP and Exec secretary that none of them had flown the line for years. I think the survey they used as to what pilots wanted was over 2 years old. Of course, we had pilots that voted Yes on the first pathetic offer they gave us.
