It is beyond silly that some senior pilots are on here stating they negotiated DC for junior pilots, ha! They negotiated DC because it benefitted all pilots equally and at that me they were mid-seniority and mid-career, when EQUAL across the board seemed like a good idea.
Everything in the contract benefits all. Even the ones not hired yet. The training pay, hotels for new hires and B scale just to name a few that used negotiating capital for the benefit of the junior guys. That no one on property when those were added or deleted benefitted from one cent. Come on man. There’s always give and take. Always.
