Fight tomorrows fight as in we have multiple rounds of negotiations still to go, either with JBLU, NK, or maybe F9 and/or a combination of those. Guys acting like this is the vote to take a stand on, a 2 year contract, nope. Exactly why I’m taking the money now, free cash, and realizing the big items to actually “fight” are to come in the next steps.
Sorry but as much as I want more money for newhires, the company doesn’t even want to pay more, and they are the ones supposed to be “begging” for pilots, and last I checked, attracting pilots is still their problem
