I gave you a glimpse of the QOL I have had at Blue. You pretended it didn't exist. You don't have nearly the QOL advantage that you think you do. And I don't believe in the fallacy that you have to choose one or the other, QOL or great pay. I want both. The truth is JB has only ever had ONE full CBA negotiations. We are doing quite well considering that, and we just yesterday came to an agreement with management that increases our retirement to 17% 14 months from now, increases our pay next Aug to a MINIMUM of $356 an hour and restores a big part of our profit sharing plan, which will pay out after the dust settles from the merger. All that BEFORE we even enter JCBA negotiations.

I have every intention of keeping as much of the best of the NK contract as possible, but don't tell me stories of fiction about how NK pilots don't have to work holidays, weekends or anniversaries, work three days a month 200 hours credit, and every other airline works every holiday and weekend, works 27 days a month for minimum guarantee.
