They swear they made the right decision, come back here and constantly ****** on us every chance they get with how great it is and we should all do it to.
They don't understand how this works and have probably been in a union for 3 years of their 6 year career so far.
I never worked at Frontier but I want you to have a good contract. Pattern bargaining works and having older contracts that are behind the industry average are fodder for Ford and Harrison to use in negotiations, arbitrations and court cases. It's in every union pilot's interest that you get substantial improvements.
My last shop still doesn't have a contract. Perhaps that validates my decision to leave but I certainly don't go to their forums and gloat or encourage people to leave. I want them to be successful as well.
I think most pilots understand this and feel the same.
