lol you think that's negotiating in public, aww that's cute. Yes I agree with you probably to low. CPI is arguable from a business perspective..

Probably some ALPA volunteer came up with it on their spare time working for free. You guys are more than welcome to step up to the plate, volunteer and come up with a better slogan if it offends you that much.

Fact of the matter is this Negotiating Committee which came up with this LOA 17, are going to be the ones negotiating our CBA 2 and are the same ones that came up with this cheesy slogan. I am allowed to say I’m underwhelmed and not encouraged going forward regardless of whether or not they volunteer!

I haven’t heard anyone complain about it outside the APC/Bluepilots/PotatoFarm bubble.

I mean I don’t think our first CBA would be any different if the slogan was something other than “Contract Above All.” CBA II will be decided on how unified the pilot group is, the job of our negotiators, and market conditions. Just my opinion.
