There was barely a whimper from the pilot group. Just the usual suspects on the forum.

Every single pilot who I have talked with even the most hard core anti company and union pilot agrees that the union did the right thing in that case if they had read the issues and understood the options both good and bad. We had virtually nothing to gain by going forward with a grievance and a lot to lose. In fact by the time the grievance was heard we would have had no chance of gaining a thing because the company would have been in compliance with the 700's and 777's delivered. We now use the formula negotiated with OUR math going forward. Had we lost the company would be using their math going forward and we could have even more 76 seaters on the property.
