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.
yes, you’re right. It’s my seniority that got me to where I am. If you call mid 11000 being senior. It’s still junior as ******* to me. Like I said, give me a third party perspective, and I’m all ears. Hell, show me someone who is an APA loyalist, but also excited about the opportunity to go to ALPA, and I would want to hear what they have to say as well. So far, all the anti- APA folks that I’ve run across are all pro-ALPA for different reasons- excluding section 6. So, to me, that is just as self-serving as the “everything is fine for me” group.
