I know I'm being an optimist but the only leverage we ever seem to really have is our scarcity. The harder it becomes to get pilots with current work rules/pay the more likely it's going to be that management will improve benefits and pay to attract pilots.

Especially once those new rest rules come out and their strategy of reflows and jr. Manning is insufficient to prevent a torrent of cancellations.

This is partly why I believe our sapa prez is pushing for 200% jr. Man pay in the policy manual.
