Come on guys, let's keep some perspective. We went for YEARS ( yes, years) with maybe 2 vacancy bids per YEAR. Other than our current growth spurt, the easiest movement we've had was during displacements. I've been with UAL for 26 years and I've seen jumpseats limited to cockpit only, massive cuts in flights, low pay, massive pay cuts, terminated pension, extremely limited upgrade/lateral opportunities, no base trade mechanism, and on and on. I'm all for making things better, and reject the idea that everyone should 'suffer' as a right of passage.... But I also do some serious eye rolling at the hyperbolic doomsaying and projected horrors some of you post here
