You don't have to wonder, just look at how negotiations are going at FedEx.
The 93% you look down on saved you from yourself. While far from perfect, I'm happy we locked in the gains we did get when we did.
Agreed 100%. I count ourselves the luckiest pilot group around. If we would have stalled another month I would be willing to bet we wouldn’t have a contract to this day.
While not perfect it’s far better than the last. I do wonder what this petulant child comment is all about. Who said it? The union is there to answer questions so any pushback should be firmly pushed back on.
