UAL pilots have already indicated to management (twice in fact) that they are willing to settle for chump change on expensive contractual QOL issues, as long as the dollars were adequate in the compensation section. Admittedly, there were extenuating circumstances during the first YEA, but not so much during the second. It was argued that we were in a pretty good spot to make some improvements, yet we settled for some quick cash. I fear that it will be an uphill fight given the mindset of many around this place. Consequently, I have my expectations set very very low.
Hopefully, TI can shake the bushes a bit.
Agree completely Mako except for the first contract. Easily we could have demanded more but that darn boogie man was out there and needed to be vanquished.
