What specifically about this contract is objectionable for the senior pilots? Is it that they won't see much of a difference in their pay/benefits, etc? Not enough of a change for them?
That's impossible to say, as everyone's situation and perspective is different. I'm a real senior guy and I don't find anything particularly objectionable about the proposal. But ask 100 other pilots with my seniority and you will get 100 different personal situations and 100 different answers.

It is interesting to note that the changes made in the contract are very much in line with the results of the survey conducted by the union leadership. That correlation alone tells me this thing will probably pass by a pretty good margin.

Would you guys see an inflationary increase for wages annually or would the salary numbers be fixed for 5 years
The numbers are fixed until 2013. Then, in the absence of a new contract, the numbers are adjusted up by cost-of-living each year starting in 2013.
