Our union doesnt have any hands, so hence the company is the only negotiating party with hands, so they automatically have the upper hand! We do have a good pilot group though which will not bend on a subpar contract!

My only beef with negotiations thus far is that we have pilots doing our negotiating while the company will bring in lawyers wearing 5000 dollar suits! Dont get me wrong i think our guys can do a good job. I just know that when it comes to legal jargon, contracts and such..... i, as a line pilot, am not going to try and outwit some harvard law school grads! I can probably kick their @** in XBOX though!
