Thats the contract that we signed. Yes, I do realize that quite a few of us got on with Comair post-contract-negotiation. But as ALPA, we're supposed to think that we're a team, right? Our coworkers and union leaders fought long and hard for the contract that we work under. You may say "well I voted that contract down" well, too bad, its a democracy that we live in where the majority speaks for everyone. If you don't like it, work to get it changed, leave, or just be miserable but keep it to yourself. But if you're going to work to change it, be productive about it. Don't just sit and whine like too many of us do.

Sorry, rant over. Fire away.
