To me it was no victory at all. Just step one to lower ourselves to compete with people who fly bigger planes for 50 seat wages.
I am unfamiliar with the language, but several XJT pilots on this forum are making out to be a great victory. And boast about their “Higher Than Thou Pay.” I sick of arguing about who has the bigger sword, I just want healthy conversation about the original topics and the future.
I'm certain you feel the same.
