So, some things better....some things worse. We are not politicians where we get to only pick the good out of other union contracts and portray our contract as woefully lacking. We are pilots and do it too (the pols have nothing on us)
Of course there are one offs. I know of one as well. I’m not trying to cherry pick, well maybe a little but I was just showing the flip side to an argument that delta is a the greatest of all time. It’s tiring when people only take what they want and try to paint a broad brush as if that is a big picture. We have a great (but room for improvement) reserve system. But like negotiating WB perks, our reserve system only impacts a small percent compared to the overall group. Everyone DHs, everyone needs to eat. A huge % are being crushed by terrible lines. We have a lot of warts and no sign of improving.
