I fervently hope you're right. It HAS to have changed from the "bad old days" when only 30% of the pilots picked up the written contract and actually read it. Most of them took it from the V-file and tossed it in the "return to sender" cardboard box.

Then they'd show up at the MEC office wanting to file a grievance over a presumed contract violation without having the first clue what was in it.

Hopefully with the retirements, the VX pilots, the Kasherstrated and the new guys you'll have enough voters to make some important changes, many (i.e. scope) that should have been in there 20 years ago.

Best of luck and keep the faith with each other. That's the ONLY way things will change at AS.
