It's noble to be looking for better conditions whenever possible, but to smack down an existing long term pilot who's happy where they are when you're a new hire is not going to make the flight deck a happy place.
Pretty much sums up the issue, "old pilot happy so everyone is happy", but respectfully this old pilot does not agree.
Post 863 strikes the issues quite nicely.
As stated, I would caution anyone to make their minds up before the finaly wording is released - that is directed at the pilot group, ALL JPF members, and especially people who say "I have spoken to the negotiating team", don't be foolish.
