I posted a thread on this last night after Cyclic's as I didn't spot it. So I just wanted to add my support for the American crew's in this contract negotiation. If they get the raise and get the safety issues they have raised sucessfully adressed then it could be a ground breaking contact.
I'll be watching this negotiation with great interest as I suspect most pilots will.
It probably won't be easy as Ignition posted above due to the Lone Star States' notorious anti-worker ethos, but it seems to be agood start.
Keep us all posted.
(Might a sucessful outcome be the spark that ignites the BA pilots into taking action?)
