I just don't like it when a union tells you you're eating steak when it is just a really nice hamburger. Don't get me wrong, we were eating dogfood out of a dumpster. Hopefully I'm wrong and it will be industry leading. I'm not tryin' to take away from the negotiating comittee's hard work, we've just been so underpaid for so long I guess I'm cynical.
Come on man!! Do you realize how you sound? I know you are a little cynical but Colgan pilots just hit the jackpot with this TA and will make out WAY better than we could have ever hoped for on our own. And now before you even have a chance to see the contract and the provisions you are doubting the idea of "industry leading" and would rather compare it to the MEC feeding you "dog food from the dumpster." Industry leading or close to it, it is a huge advance for all of us.
I know you were not trying to sound like jerk. Lets take step back and realize how this contract will greatly affect our lives for the better rather than be the typical cynical pilot who like to complain and moan.
