We’ll know if “Sailing was right” only when we each can evaluate whether the eventual ratified contract was worth the wait. My hunch is that answer will also differ from one pilot to the next. This contract sets a vector for my next couple decades of work, so it’s as much about what we gain in the short term as what precedents we do and don’t set for ourselves and the industry at large.
I cringe to imagine what management would have required to sign an early contract in 2019. Thank goodness that didn’t happen.

How would you characterize what they achieved and how they achieved it?

We just had 20 unfilled NYC 7er captain positions on the last AE and the junior award went to someone hired 6 months ago.
Maybe times are changing.

My opinion is based off the fact that certain players on this board constantly undermine our NC. Our union has asked us not to negotiate in public. To me, anyone who does is doing management’s job for them…hence my comment.
I agree and disagree with much that you, Trip, OOff, Sailing, scoop, tegridy or any of the other frequent posters put on the board. However to me, negotiating in public is a red line that shouldn’t be crossed, no matter your opinion on it. Save your opinions for the NH Polling phone calls or talking directly to your reps.
The 18/5/5/5 thread should be closed. Just one guy’s opinion.

Based on history I will wager it is ALPA.

I saw their opener, which detailed their priorities, as established in communication with the membership. Is “demand” management speak for “priority”?
