Will a TA in late 2019, or late 2020 be progress? Will your retro check make up for two more years of weak work rules, vaca pay screwing, Reserve rules, training pay, rescheduling loopholes etc. etc. etc?
I think our contract is pretty damn good, along with most guys I work with. I’ll continue trying to do my job the best I can, a new contract with some tweeks and improvements will come. Maybe a retro check along with it. Don’t lose sight of the fact this is a pretty great job, enjoy it a little instead of letting that early 2000 UAL mindset be a constant chip on your shoulder.
