It has also been almost six years since the contract was signed. You have had ample opportunity to escape the injustice that is the 763.
The plane weighs almost three times more than a 737-800, can fly twice as far, carries more people and a lot more cargo, yet only pays $10 more per hour. Who cares what DAL and AMR pay for theirs. For everyone who escapes it's "injustice", someone else has to fly it.
