Third, I'd guess the reason you've never seen anything like this in your previous career is that you weren't under collective bargaining in your prior career. This industry isn't like others, even though we don't have a union we negotiate as a group. This is how it works, contention is part of it.

Finally, STOP capitulating pay for growth and new airplanes. Stop conflating the two issues of pay and growth!!! They are independent issues. It's that mentality and thinking which perpetuates the **** pay we have in this industry. You are part of the problem!!!

How about the xjt contract highlights I posted?

People employed by airlines should only think about the now, because that is where it is at. Because we know every single regional pilot who wants to fly for a major is going to get hired. Just a matter of time. Plenty of jobs for everyone!
