As I see it, we can't change that, or can we? That does not mean I approve.
Of course you approve. Here you are spouting to us how we should have accepted the last TA and how we must do something to help the airline reduce costs.
I think before you believe the lie that we have to change our package, you should demand that their actions, like doubling their salaries, would be curbed before asking for productivity increases on our part.
And that's why you'll find most of your few mates hate you STW. You are taking the enemy's side instead of supporting the people fighting for our profession. You scream from the sidelines without offering solutions, except surrendering. If you don't fight, then you won't get much. Those airlines with proper contracts had to fight tooth and nail to secure them. They didn't just drop on their laps by capitulating and drinking the kool aid.
