I am not trying to be defeatist. The truth is this company WAS a stepping stone, not a career destination. Our current CBA reflects that, especially when it comes to retirement benefits. New contracts are improvements upon the old, and unfortunately, we don't have much to begin with. It will interesting to see what value our NC places on this topic compared to other areas in need of improvement such as overall pay, FO pay, rigs, cancellation pay, etc. My GUESS is that our NC will accept an increase in 401k match and move on.
