I think you are confusing why things happened. The pay didn't have anything to do with PP flow rates. While we all moved up a little bit in flow, it did nothing to protect the rest of the pilot group, increase pay, increase qol etc. The only tangible effect was to move the PP's quicker, which I want to reiterate again, I am not ****ting on the PP's so please lets not get all worked up about it. The point is simply, that in MY opinion, we could have battled for more at that point.
I fully admit that I could be wrong about doing more than, I wasn't in the negotiations, however we seem to be losing a lot of battles around here and its getting old.
