I don't think Mntnbikemike is that crazy. he has some good points. First of seniority is in fact EVERYTHING in this industry. And I am VERY junior, BUT a very big truth in this industry is that once you give up something from the contract you will NEVER see it back. I prefer getting furloughed (and I most likely will) and come back 1-2 years later to a company (with a CBA) I actually did want to work for in the first place rather than give concessions and loose rules/benefits forever and work for a company with rules that I never wanted. I made my decision of coming here based mainly on the CBA we have any (significantly negative) amendment to that might make me regret my decision.
