They get to keep our 43% pay raises for themselves. (Minus the bonus, which makes it about, roughly, approximately, plus or minus, 2 years pay we lose.) That's about 6 figures for nearly every pilot who's been here since early openers.)
Oh, and expect nothing to change in 5 years when we do this all again.
This is the reality of the RLA. Keep beating that 100% retro drum, but it will never make a difference. It’s unjust from our point of view but reality nonetheless.
