We said NO to Parker 3 times (twice at MEC level and once via pilot vote) before the envoy pilot group voted yes. Parker did not get the cheap contract he wanted out of us. The PR piece above is just his way of saving face and saying that the flying is returned because of our cost structure and not because of the horrible performance of his lowest bidders and their inability to staff the flying. All of this was done while Parker was holding a knife to our throats and guys like you were yelling, Cut! Cut! Cut!.
The OP isn't proud of our contract. He is happy that after years of stagnation, going from 3,300 pilots to just under 2,000, paying the price to Parker for standing up for ourselves and the industry, watching our upgrade and reserve times skyrocket while pilot groups like PSA who are all to happy to undercut the next guy grew exponentially. Maybe he is just happy that the envoy pilot group isn't being chit on anymore you little prick.
I have respect for envoy for standing up with us RAH people. They only accepted the current contract after PSA blended over backwards to Doug Parker. I hope their FOs get stuck on that 4 year cap for the longest time.
