LOL.. the blowhards on the forums crack me up.
And yet, the vocal minority "blowhards" have been correct about every issue we've voted on in at least 2 decades.
The silent majority voted to ratify several concessionary contracts, and numerous side letters that garnered, at best, no benefit for the pilot group and worse, several that outright
harmed the pilot group, in the same timeframe.
At least, this time, we got
almost industry average pay and retirement, 6 years after the amendable date. Unfortunately, we're still living with our last concession ridden contract, albeit with a few minor gains, and a few minor concessions.
"Blowhards" indeed........
