Did that happen? Yet, it was a popular narrative at the time as well.
Also, it discounts the possibility that BJ pilots could have exercised their powers to change the terms of the equation to force BJ to agree to more of our terms.
Remember, ALPA failed because 74% of you people failed to think. Now you are getting what you deserve. Several of us warned you to reject TA 1.0 for TA 2.0 and you acted reflexively, not logically.
Until BJ pilots learn to respect themselves, their profession, and learn to fight, nothing will change with the next contract.

I know we are in different sides of this and that’s okay.
I voted yes, as did 74% of the group. I stand by my vote. As I stated earlier in this thread, based on the trips I fly, the contract got me a significant raise— All while working less. This Contract improved working here.
I hope despite our past differences, we can all be United (see what I did there) for a better contract with better pay and work rules in our next contract. I personally believe that we will be a much better negotiating position since we have a framework in place.
