For the older crew members...
Unless you are 54 and set to retire soon (like you had always planned) why don't you hold out, say NO to COS08 and force the company to come back with a better deal? It blows my mind that so many are willing jump at the first opportunity to do the same job for less than what they currently make.
CX will need RA65 once the economy rebounds and we go through another pilot shortage. Lets turn the table and make them give US something in good times rather than continually trying to take from us when times are tough.
Funny that the guys so quick to jump on us younger crew for joining on lesser conditions than they did are now the ones willing to sell their souls for a contract which is BAD for most crew members.
Unity!
