... happy with the decision to
purchase new aircraft from Boeing back in November when it was first voted on.

increase. What the pilots want is a pay increase of 11% over the next four
years. What the have been offered is a 5% increase. The argument that the
pilots have put forward is the fact that their offer does not even keep up with
inflation. It looks as though a strike would be very unlikely because of the
