That's my point, how do you negotiate when you're brainwashed into thinking you're in the "minors". You can't. Alpa is partly to blame in perpetuating this mentality. It's amazing how even in this market, places like Mesa and Skywest pass subpar contracts with big pay gaps with the majors. Management can pay more, but they don't have to when we're voting in these agreements justifying them somehow.
