Do you mean the language that states the pay rates will be reduced until 12-31-09? Yep that ending date sure seems pretty weak.
It would if won give the "East pilots only" a raise because it is a function of the East contract.
You would think that as confident you are the East will lose the seniority fight and Nic will be implemented, you would want the East to win the LOA 93 pay dispute. Then when we do get a new contract the West would also have a new higher starting point for those negotiations.
I know its in vogue to hate the East on these boards but dont cut off your nose to spite your face
