Your ignorance of history is telling. The NWA contract was signed in 98 after our strike and gave us a peak rate of about 280. The Delta contract was signed three years later with peak rates of 319.

See above.

Leverage comes from a unified pilot group willing to strike for an industry leading contract for the pilots of the world's largest airline. You wouldn't be part of that obviously.

We shouldn't. We were the ones (and those who preceded us) that fought the battles that got us the meager gains that we have. You are the spoiled children who bite the parents hand.

Truly ignorant post made by someone who wasn't even here at the time. You were probably making your strongest case to the RJ airline interviewer as to why you should be hired to fly at food stamp wages.

I'll be here another decade IF I don't get furloughed. You may be furloughed and NEVER be recalled. Enjoy that long horizon of yours ace.

Ignorant and incorrect posts aren't jabs at the nose. You give yourself far too much import.
