I dare say so, for it is a factual truth.
The east had a choice to make. New contract, wage improvements, better schedules, more vacation. Or; the alternative, stay on LOA93 and force separate ops.
There never was another choice.
So, my very junior, disgruntled, multi-furloughed, lowest wage earning, fellow co-worker, when are you going to get it through your pea brain that you totally blew it with the scab union experiment? My guess would be about 30 seconds after the New American pilot seniority arbitration award is published, and you quickly go straight to your name to see how many jobs you stole, only to find out you are still just a junior rank and file pilot whose relative position slipped because of the crap career expectation you voluntarily gave yourself by staying on LOA93.
