It would have been better if the DW's of the world had not bid it, but it's still not a moot point.
Pull together boys,

It would be good to pull together but we gave away improvements for all just to secure useless A-380 rates. That was great for the profession but not good for most of our pilots. Our history indicates a stand for big 777 rates will once again mean give backs from all.
I'm tired of folks reaching into a majority of our pockets now for things that will affect a minority group. Did you know the last contract negotiated a scheme to tax all pilots every month for old guy healthcare? That's some of the hidden money BC promised. I'm glad we fought for that one.
UPS has an even bigger pie. They hold it just out of reach and threaten to furlough as they take bites out of it.
