I haven't voted YES on a single contract here in the last 17 years. Believe whatever you want about VX...however, for me, if they want to complain about our contract, they can keep it to themselves. VX and their non union operation undermined out contract negotiations for the last two contracts. Sorry that fact is offensive to you, but none the less it's true.

Blaming your junk contract on an upstart is wrong. Blame your MEC, or your fellow pilots who voted for it. Don't get me wrong, VX is nothing to write home about and is very bare bones, but your contract is worse than regionals. Acknowledging that will help us all fight for something better.

I don't think a VX pilot (that is, contractless and amongst the lowest paid majors) should be calling out the AS contract as being on par with regionals. And to be fair, contract 2013 was signed at a time when legacy contracts sucked. Here are Delta rates in 2013:

In any case, there's no denying that 2017 market rates and averages are way up which reflect the strong economy, low oil prices, and robust demand for travel. Attacking each other's contracts or weaknesses doesn't serve a good purpose in a time we should be unified.
