Of course, how much you receive is based on factors such as time with company at various levels, of which details I will not discuss here, but you say what you want about a union. When the votes get ratified, I'll think about your responses here against uions as I drive all the way to the bank. Did your non-unionized work force in all your years of loyal service ever receive a ten grand check in their hand just for doing the same job that they did yesterday? We have a great culture at work, but we don't tolerate management treading on us. We will pay the union dues to see that this stays that way.
I am a former NW employee and my wife is a current NW/DL CSS. I have seen what THIS union has done for Northwest the last 20 years... NOTHING!!! I happy that you feel that the union has done great by you, but you are in the minority. It's like a person who has won 100 million in the lottery telling everyone else how great the lottery is and that they should spend everything they have buying tickets.
Please note that my comments are not directed at the pilots & fa's... I do not have knowledge of their contracts and thus can not give an opinion... At least an educated one
