You sir win the prize...well said... I actually hope you guys get a contract that is far superior to ours and move the bar much higher. But what I see and hear troubles me... your management has no intention of giving up anything and your pilot force has never been in a protracted contract war. This is your first war. You get an 8% raise and give up 5% in profit sharing...Your success or failure will effect us all. Piloting should be a fixed cost but management always tries to make it a variable one...a race to the bottom. I threw grenades at our pilot force and Alpa when we needed them...I rode Southwest pilots hard until they got a good contract...You are ground zero now...I bust your balls because your fate is our fate...
