It seems that a contract will need to be 'industry leading' to be considered a 'success' relative to peer airlines. This would keep the pilots on par with these other airlines, whose current contracts are approaching their end.
Which airlines are your peers. I know that you guys do at least as good a job as, for example, a Delta pilot. So is that your peer, and can the company's business model sustain that comparison.
Having a reasonable expectation will make a new contract more acceptable.
It was about nothing other than peers with regard to pay/negotiations. By quoting this post and responding to it, you more than merely implied. Go ahead and backpedal, but your true colors keep showing themselves.
