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.
How is he supposed to know he just hit the jackpot with this TA when he hasn't even seen the TA yet. If you have and you are calling it a jackpot I'll take your word for it.
"Industry leading" - I bet the previous guy brought that up only because the email brought it up first. They said it, so now that's what we are expecting. I agree whatever we got is a step up, and many would be OK with that. But a step up for colgan is one thing, and to declare it "industry leading" is a whole other level.. like 20 stories higher level. What I think the other guy meant, and what I feel as well, is you (the email) shouldn't put out the term "industry leading" unless it TRULY is. Otherwise that just makes people feel like well, what the other guy said about being fed fake steak or whatever.
