I s’pose the only thing different about the refrain we’ll be hearing this time around will be, “If it’s good enough for Casey Murray and SWAPA, it’s good enough for me.”
Maybe we’ll learn in three or four decades.
It wasn't industry bottom when it was ratified. Our work rules are still near the top of the industry. Pay is lagging now , but everyone else ratified after we did. This go around, everyone else ratified before us so if we vote in lagging rates....it's on us. I was new in 2016 and didn't know our disability was as bad as it is....it was better than the regional I came from (we didn't have any) and nobody bothered to tell me otherwise. This go around, they're gonna have to pay up if they want my vote and to keep butts in seats.
