I thank all the guys I fly with for this contract...it is far better than past contracts with respect to new hire compensation.
There are parts of our contract that are very, very weak and poorly negotiated.
This is not one of them, our new hires starting pay in training is as good or better than anybody’s.
Thanks to the people who made it happen.
Now let’s talk reserve rules, LTD, sick time, and vacation and training pay.
