Spit out the Kool-Aid for a moment, GU isn’t a pilot here. He couldn’t care less about this contract. He just wants to make sure that 1,300 pilots don’t leave his new playground. Meanwhile, we will NEVER make up the earnings we’re losing out on, even if they print money and give us delta +20%.
It’s time to sign a contract, lick our wounds, then hash it out again in 3-5 years.
But hey, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the forklift drivers picketing with us will really persuade Maury. Get f*cking real.
I’m curious how the math would have worked if we had taken the pamphlet offer a couple years ago. We would be very close to that second contract expiring and beginning negotiations again.
I think we would have all been much further ahead. Particularly our 401k’s with all the gains we missed out on over the past couple of years.
