If you see some kind of leverage the union has to make the company settle for more than DL/UA/AA that we missed let's hear it. Until then your entire post, and your previous posts like it are complete horse crap. It reads like management propaganda hoping to stop the bleeding. Fact is, nobody is going to come here or stay here because the union "promised" to get them an industry leading contract some undetermined time in the future when every other airline is offering it now. Day trips could be gone tomorrow with a memo.
Also, keep my name out yo' keyboard. Name checking me doesn't give you the credibility you think it does. I may complain a lot, but all of my predictions have come true. Yours have not. You also don't speak for this pilot group "Everyone except [me] supports the union". GMAFB. Tell yourself whatever you want to know dude. Most guys are afraid to speak up. That's why you always see the same 50 guys stroking Andrew on Facebook.
Honest question that I have yet to see an answer to. Maybe you have and I missed it.
Why do YOU stay? Are you actively trying to leave?
