I guess it’s all in a person’s perspective.
You must of been LCAL, because the LUAL pilots were working on a contract prior to the merger and comments from a particular eastern LCAL council were rather negative (if my memory serves me correctly).
After 4 decades of this 2 years is a pushing it to the max and far from a rush. LUAL exchange of opening letters fall 1983, strike spring of 1985.
Perception and personal need guide us all.
