I would say you're correct in your position. The fact is, regardless of one's viewpoint or perception on their union contract, if you're flying commercially making $44.00/hr, it's 100% totally crap money. Who cares how good your contract is versus another crappy regional. It's like saying, "they get punched in the face twice a day. We only get punched once, so we have it pretty good around here."
