That's weird, because the fNWA pilots I fly with claim to be happy with their
overall situation, even if they have issues with certain aspects of the contract, and the SLI. For sure, we have discussions about procedures, nostalgia for the way things were, etc. We also have discussions about the things they don't miss, and that's a substantial list as well.
The more I fly with them, the more I find that (surprise, surprise) we're not all that different. They also strike me as pretty smart people. Too smart for 87% to have voted for an inferior product.
