1221 for one thing. Also, I just flew with an FO that’s a new hire mentor that has access to the list of NHs and what their backgrounds are. Out of a class of 61, only 2-3 were AF and only one was a Marine. The rest were all corporate, regional, other major, etc.
Hate to say it but when you don’t have a 20 year military retirement that gets deposited every month, you tend to have more “fight” in you when it comes to contracts. That’s been my direct observation over the last 24 years in this biz. Sorry, basic human nature and psychology.
Well I have a 22 year military retirement and I can tell you I’m a hard no on anything less of a complete rewrite to fix our outdated language, and a complete revamp to our disability, loss of license, etc…
Oh, and I’m in no hurry to get a new contract so they can keep delaying all the want. In the end, it’s just gonna cost them more. But being a part of the check of the month club helps…
