If you were doing as our union had asked we could have had more leverage. If you did any of those things above since Jan. 1st. you were working against this contract and have no room to complain about whats in it. Vote yes or no, but every mess cleaned up by a pilot was less and less leverage earned. Don't cry to me about it needs to be better when you were pulling for the other team to your own benefit.
Not directed at you Bunker, just in general.
Not taking it personally I know what you meant. I think towards the end, just before we agreed to the AIP, we were headed in that exact direction. We're never going to get 100% compliance, but we had enough where it was making an impact. Plus we were headed into the busiest part of the year where our SOP flying would have crippled this company. We had the upper hand, or at least significant leverage for the first time in this entire process and I feel we let them off the mat. We left money on the table, I'm convinced of that.
