Not the right way to characterize this Ultra:
There is nothing short-term about concern over how this affects collective bargaining. We have to fix the economics of this profession. The broader economy is thriving, the [passenger] airline pilot profession has been left out. We can't continue, short OR long term, to accept lingering vulnerability and a simple 2nd or 3rd mortgage (age 65 then 70) on our earnings as any sort of improvement.
