And it will affect all junior guys and everyone when they upgrade. I will read the TA thoroughly, but I am NOT giving up quality of life for nearly Industry bottom rates. I wish we didn't have so many who are willing. You guys are an embarrassment to the whole profession.
So Lets all Make Less so YOU can stay at home more... got it.
Also if every airline leap frogs pay every contract, then by your rationale if we get delta Plus a $1 and jetblue/frontier will blow by us, then well be at the bottom again anyway... since all the big boys will get new contracts within our 5 year contract and leap frog us again.. So Lets stay at the bottom for 2 more years making $140k, and not make $225,000 in the interim simply because at some date in the future that will get surpassed..Lets stay at the bottom, all while hoping longer negotiations will get us to the top, which as you claim will be at the bottom in 2 years anyway?? Makes total sense to me..
