“Screwing over” first year pay isn’t a tactic deployed by the union to acquire a new contract. It’s an opportunity presented by management’s cheapskate tendencies. Your frustration towards your fellow pilots is misplaced.
I’ll answer your question with a question. How much of a raise to 1st year pay would justify giving away the biggest bargaining chip we have and “screwing over” the rest of the pilot group?
