(Unpopular opinion coming in 3, 2, 1,…) While I’m thankful for the heavy lifting that Delta and United pilots did for us, I don’t want to live in a world of perpetual complaining and perpetual contract negotiate because the other guys got more.

None of us get everything we would like to see in a contract. That’s just the nature of “negotiations”. I’m okay with APA taking one more bite at the Apple but then I just want to go about quietly doing my job and living my life with the deal that I’m given. And if, by chance I find the final deal to be untenable for me, personally, I’m free to apply to Delta, United, Southwest, UPS, or anywhere else.

Four years of bittching, whining, and being urinated-off is long enough.

Now flame away!
