Newhires today can get hired into the right seat of widebody at DL, UA, etc... That's the new industry norm. They've paid their dues flying RJs. Did you ever have to fly an RJ for foodstamps? Probably not.



Don't get me wrong, we're absolutely excited to see the retirement fixed and would love to see retro retirement (and retro everything) become the new standard for all negotiations, but work rules, pay, QOL are equally important and we're not going to sacrifice those just to give a certain group their golden parachute retirement.
