The only demographic that really falls in that category are career mil with no airline experience, and even then those that say "quit whining and vote yes, your job is easy, you make 6 figures and nobody cares" are usually the exception, not the rule.
I hope you’re right! I am just going off a small sample size of “new guys” that I’ve flown with. I’ve heard: “what is retro?” “How can we expect retro with COVID?” And “retro is cool for guys like you who’ve been around but for me a check for a couple grand vs. a signing bonus. I’d have to think about that one and it would depend on the size of the signing bonus.
I’m full retro all day, especially because these stall tactics by DL have gone on for almost a full contract cycle already! Stay unified…that’s all we can do. I’m off topic now, just wanted to let this MJP27 know that I disagreed with his view on retro! See you at picketing tomorrow.
