Personally I was thrilled for SWA contact, hoping dal, jbu and you guys get something soon.
Honestly dude, I don't believe that for a second. Ultimately what will end up happening is by the time we we get a contract it will be a wash and equate to what our management (both NKS & F9) offered initially. TIME, VALUE, , MONEY. This is especially true when we talk about our retirement. Delaying as long as they plan will of course work out in managements favor, it always does.
They will delay as long as they have until one of three things happen.
1. Economic collapse
2. Merger
3. Until their hand is forced by the RLA and who are we kidding, if it ever gets to that point they could pay us FedEx rates and they would still have saved money by delaying it as long as they did.
It's really frustrating and I try not to stress over it but I can't help but shake my F----- head with each new podcast and company video of them telling us "how much they appreciAte their employees"
Actions speak louder than words
