Yes, you're correct in what you're saying now, but at the tiME, I was responding to your original point.
As far as the 2 year contract thing goes, I'd love That!
But, being given fair to both sides, most businesses don't do strategic planning 24 months at a time.
It is understandable that they would want greater stability.
Most of us are aware that other companies who award flying would prefer to do business with a company with a stable labor situation.
I disagree that they don't want to sign a contract.
They simply want to get it as cheap as possible.
That's their job.
Our job is to obtain the best compensation possible with bankrupting our employer.
There is no need for emotion... this is just about numbers.
