After the Jet Blue rates came out and BB bought F9 and MidEx he gave us a ton of leverage to demand a mainline type contract. But just roll over, give up, and blame someone else... Seems like a couple of the MidEx guys on here are getting pretty good at doing that.
You honestly believe you will get 100+% raises for FO's? What are you smoking? In this economic environment? Been drug tested lately? I HAVE A CURRENT CBA with much BETTER rates than yours, I am not in negotiations, YOU ARE. Blaming me isn't going to help your FO's.
You have been played by Bedford. You had all the cards when the first 170 flight release was signed and have been signing them away every since. Come 8/1, the 190 will simply nail the remaining MEH pilots in the coffin.
