Yep, well said. Everyone had a different path here, military, cargo, regionals, etc - now that's we're here is really doesn't matter. Let's just work together to get a great contract.
Everyone wants something different from the contract - but it boils down to this: We want to make as much money as our brother-in-law thinks, have as much time off as our neighbors thinks we have, and we want to sleep with as many FAs as our wife thinks we are. And we want that last one to be retroactive!
(from a book written by a TWA captain years ago)
But really - improvements all over the contract help everyone. Yes, some groups want specific items, but other groups want different items. Doesn't mean one group is trying to screw the other, it's just that priorities shift over a career.
