Im sure he was but he was also aware that when the contract was up he would be able to bargain for improvements. Do you want improvements?

The yields are what concern me. The second quarter profit increase was do to higher fares. If we can't fill the planes we can't increase ticket prices. New cities and competing head to head with frontier is not going to help.

Pilot's professional compensation has nothing to to with what label the CEO chooses for the airline, any airline. We all pass the same check rides, regardless of where we work.
The single determining factor if you get a decent work rule/compensation package is what kind of leverage you have as you negotiate it.

Has anyone compared the dental insurance that ALPA is offering compared to NK? I believe it covers orthodontics which is nice for those of us with kids.
