you know its funny….back when we did the merger JCBA a bunch of pilots complained incessantly that they didn’t know “how to put a work rule in the bank” and all that mattered was pay rates, and they just cared about “money in the bank” and we should merge based on hourly pay rates, etc.
Now here we are and people are complaining about work rules.
