A few posts back someone copy and pasted something about Sun Country. I don't think that was accurate. I think they recently got a halfway decent contract.l? I'll try to find it in a bit.
For everyone who's suprised and or disappointed about the progress on our contract, let's keep a couple things in mind: our last contract took 3 years and we had nearly completely run out of applicants.
United and Southwests new contracts took about 4 years to hash out. And united had to shoot down an early, garbage agreement. It didn't make it to a vote, but the time to work these out can be substantial. I expect ours to be in the 3 year range.
The company is going to stall, delay and jam up every single step in this process. It will more than test your patience, trust me. Prepare for pain. Just don't take your frustration out on others. Don't make your work days suck because your frustrated with the company. And please for the love of God, don't be mad at the union. Direct your anger the right way. We have to support the union.
