Let's just look at individual contracts and tell it like it is!
This business, like many others, is all about statistics. It's not difficult to measure the mean, mode, median, range, std deviation and extreme outliers etc in a contract.
The question should be, where does the contract lie?
Is it below average, average, or above average in most areas? Are there areas of the contract that represent extreme outliers?
If it's below average, WHY?
I'm not interested in counterfactual reasoning or emotional measurement of a contract based on good or bad experience. It's all about the numbers!
So, on the whole, where does your contract lie from a mathematical standpoint?

Throw Buff Mike a few scraps and he proudly boasts from the roof tops. Being as green as he is, he remains unaware of what catching up still needs to be done.
He's like the kid who's been running around in an old Honda Civic while his peers have been driving Bimmers. After years near the bottom, he's been promised shiny rims, seat covers, and a big muffler and he can't stop shouting about it.
What's next, furry dice?
Weeeelll, hmmm, I wasn't trying to be derogatory toward buff mike....He and I are fellow pilots at the joint. I just know his posts to generally be positive toward company action. Obviously, the first guy is suspicious. For a moment there, I just envisioned the conversation between the two and it struck me humorously--imagined Beatle Bailey getting yelled at by his sergeant. (You can put either guy in the sergeants role)
Civics have a nice reliability record? Don't they? Lotsa BMW's in the pre-owned market these days. Seems people bought more than they could afford. Hey, JetBlue has a ways to go to get to SWA level work rules, benefits, compensation, etc. It is what it is. I prefer to fly rather than put a suit on--if I could find that work...I'll accept it for now and try the "glass half full" thing--at least until January (new union vote?). I am interested primarily in work rules improvements--yet to be determined.

It is not finished so it cannot be evaluated in its entirety yet. Like I said, there is much more beyond payrates that is yet to be determined. Please forego the business tutorial. If you don't like me twisting your analogy, don't write a bad analogy. If the contract does not measure up or the company stalls continously, there will be another union vote.
