I'm pretty well known as being somewhat less than supportive of SPA ALPA's current (and historical) "leadership".
I speciffically don't like it that we laid so much on the line (strike) to get so little.
HOWEVER, you outsider's need to understand one thing before you condem our contract. My W2 in 2012 will be DOUBLE my W2 from 2002. I was left seat all of both years.
I think we wasted a huge opportunity last year, but that shouldn't subtract anything from what we've accomlished over the last ten years.
We've raised the bottom from the cellar up to ground level. Be glad we aren't flying around for peanuts anymore

I heard ORD was "off the books" for now... but that doesn't mean it will not happen in the future.

If there will be an opportunity the company will be on it. Our approximately 20% yearly growth plan is ambitious as is.
