Your pay rates are slightly better than our SIX YEAR OLD CONCESSIONARY rates and most of the work rules are still below ours. I wanted you guys to truely get an industry leading contract because it's nothing but good for all of us. The other problem is that there is no education for those entering the regional life. Most think that all regionals are the same and that is simply not true. All regionals are bad for the profession as a whole but unfortunately at this point it is one of very few ways to get to a major. As long as guys that dont know any better keep showing up to the places with subpar contracts then the whipsawing will continue.
