Hardly the best contract ever and why on earth do we always rely on some other Pilot group, (see Delta), toeing the line while we cling to coat tails and vote yes at every turn? We had a chance to lead the industry when we merged but were so busy tripping over each other to "get the deal done" and stop those seat stealing CAL scum that we settled AGAIN. There are so many holes in our current CBA that could have been plugged but once more we caved and settled for much less than we should have supposedly all in the name of moving on.
Pathetic at best.
