I am still the new kid on the airline block however the lesion I take away from this is that management will always win! I would have to say all pilot unions need to learn from past mistakes to fix the future. Why would you try to repair the leaky roof on a house with a bad foundation? It seems too hard, expensive, and time consuming to fix the past. Invest the money in making a very strong contract for the future.
Thanks for the info.
