Its my understanding that the Flight Attendants contract is very good at AS, relative to the industry. Another thread on here states they even get Holiday pay. Why that is, I couldn't answer intelligently because I dont fly a Boeing. But the company obviously has the ability to pay. Their union has found a way to get the most out of management. Why cant we as the pilots do the same?

I think we are on the same page of wanting a great contract in a couple years. I just ask the mindset be changed from "we cant win against this management" to "F these guys, lets get paid what we are worth" Even if it takes a few years.
