What is interesting in this post you just wrote is that you wonder whose needs are greater.
Hmmmm let's see.
Guys with 30 years to recover are all bent out of shape about having to get a note from a doctor can wait on pay rates until they get THE deal. Guys that had their retirement stolen and have around 10 years to go...
Oh, but that's right, in APC land time has no value whatsoever.
Your wants, not needs, are obvious. The point I'm making is that you and I don't decide. The majority does. You got screwed, I get it. The "rate now at all costs" crowd is equally willing to sell out those who want a deal worthy of an industry leader. Delta makes record breaking profits and still insists on concessions to create efficiencies. The bankruptcy is over and has been for a loooooooong time. If not now, when? The past is past. The pension is gone and never coming back, blame the company not your fellow pilots.
