I agree although I didn’t buy the chilis waiter comment. But then again, I’ve never been a waiter. But his is a list of many small inconveniences that may never be improved with a better contract. But they are certainly some small reasons why we should have an industry leading contract In every section. For what we do, we deserve it.

We incentivized it with our choices as a group in many cases. In others it’s just another reason to know your contract. No contract language could every fix it as history would prove. Pay grievances are as old as the industry itself.

Continuing to say everything bad here happens at all other airlines and thus disincentivizing a desire to make things better here through contract improvements is the same as those you extenders you vilify. Neither of you help the cause by doing it, by your own logic that is.
