Thats great. All you have to do now is convince the mediators and a company that is already on record as wanting to pay a “market rate” for the service provided. The market rate they’re going to look at is 737 pilots because, unfortunately, the industry doesn’t pay like UPS.

I intend to go to a roadshow and listen to the negotiating team explain how they came to whatever the actual rates are, and why they think that was the best they can do.

Then, as I’ve said a hundred times, I’m going to dig into the rest of the contract to see the stuff that really matters.

Only then will I make a decision.
