So it was only your seniority that got your quality of life, is that what you are saying? Did APA do anything to improve QOL for the whole pilot group? How many more pilots did AA have to hire to cover the same amount of flying under the new contract? Did you know both UA and DL had to hire more pilots to cover the same amount of flying? That is the single best indicator of significant QOL gains.
In your little survey group of friends from different airlines, how is their profit sharing? How are they enjoying the other massive gains they got in their last contract?
It's these "everything is fine for me" people who live in their own little shells on why we will never see significant improvement in our union or catch up to UA/DL.
