Many of the newer pilots have told me they don't support a contract that favors one segment of the pilot population over another, the contract has to be equitable. But that begs the question; What is the value of supporting scope or QOL items when a pilot is walking out the door in a couple years? The answer is pretty close to zero. Should the senior pilot support these contract goals? I think so. Should the new hire support a fix to retirement for the older generation, I think so. If we support each other and the MEC we win.
Great argument but hard to monetize. Therein lies the problem I think.
