These are all open questions...
Its possible, but with our union reps and, more importantly, this pilot group, it will never, never happen.
I mean United was already near the top, with no problems recruiting. They got a massive raise, completely free health care, profit sharing, and snap up provisions! Can you imagine our pilot group asking to surpass the industry like that? It's always "slightly less" here, and I think it always will be, and we can look at ourselves as the reason. We vote yes to everything. LOA17 was the nail in the coffin for any hope here.
