No need to worry about attrition, there isn't anywhere to go
No guarantee that a contract 2-3 years in the future will be much better than this one
Anyone who thinks this wouldn't take at least another 2-3 years, just look at Airtran. Re-electing new union leadership, re-opening all the TA'd sections, waiting to get released again.. forget it.
From what i am hearing this contract is going to do almost nothing for us with scope. Its just going to prevent colgan from getting jets, which never was going to happen anyways. No integration unless colgan wants it too, no protection from colgan getting bunches more of q400's with the money we earned for this company. And there is no gaurantee of us ever getting more planes either, so 3 years from now we could be exactly where we are now. Higney, please tell me i am wrong.
