You knuckle heads need to read about the history of labor airline relationships.
One of the most successful contract awards was the UAL contract 2000. The got in in part by flying the contract, trainers and checkers only did line checks and sim checks. No initial checks and no one accepted upgrades or check airman positions. No one can argue about the success of that contract.
We get crap because we refuse to do what is required to be successful.
