It is not the five years of working under the current CBA, as I have now stated many, many times, my friends who work there really enjoy it. The problem is the five years of the back and forth between the union and the company that can often become filled with vitriol and hyperbole. It was bad enough flying short haul and listening to guys spend every free breath angrily complaining about contract negotiations for several years, I can't imagine having to listen to that for hours on end while crossing the pond. And the company bringing in F&H ensures that it will be a nasty battle, because that is what F&H do.
