Could you provide specifics? I was the under the impression that everything regarding their job was covered by the contract they negotiated. The contract doesn't expire, it just becomes amendable. So they are still working under a contract they negotiated and agreed upon. Why would they have ever allowed a contract to be ratified that put them at a disadvantage now?
And when they signed up for the job is relative. A Delta pilot hired in 2022 certainly has a different outlook on quality of life at an airline vs when the most senior Delta pilot was hired.
