Focus on what works for this pilot group and stop the "keeping up with the Jones's".
I'm simply pointing out what is occurring here. Take a second; reflect on what is best for you and your family. Inform yourself, then, make a decision.
Control what you can control; stop worrying about other contracts that you have no input on.
One man's opinion.
I appreciate what you're saying. I am definitely a positive person and no contract, new or old, would change my general attitude towards my job.
I also agree we should not worry about United at this point in time. However, there is a good chance they come out with something in the next week or two and we can't bury our heads in the sand if this scenario comes to fruition. I would be happy if their agreement is roughly equal to ours and each pilot group can progress with the TA's that fit their needs. However, it's not realistic to have the pilot group vote in something if becomes apparent it will be industry lagging. It's not about having everything that Delta and United have, but they are our peers and we deserve to have something that is competitive. We'll see soon how it all plays out. There's no point in stressing about it now.
