While Junior may be giddy with this contract TODAY they will not be so happy when they are still working under it 10 years from now, all because of the devastating precedents enshrined in this agreement. Management will remember the lessons of this negotiation far in to the future and if anyone thinks they slow-rolled this contract, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Fortunately I’ll be gone by then. ALPA’s epic failure of allowing devastating negotiating precedents will forever change the company’s contact strategies for the entire career of everyone on the seniority list today.
