We must forever be the top paid 737 drivers in the country or tied with the best paid 737 drivers. If we get all of that? Why wait to vote it in? Should I freak out that United could get. 0.2% better international override or delta get $0.50 more an hour per diem?
If we get all that, absolutely yes. My fears are that without that fresh TA from "the heavyweights" to compare directly to it, it will be more of the same for ASA. Too many compromises in too many areas.
It will be much harder to sell a mediocre contract to the pilot group if United had just passed something legendary. And management knows this.
