If you were running not only the largest, privately-held regional, but also one of the most-profitable, recognizable, and popular, as well, would you really think about throwing that all away? I certainly wouldn't. My firm belief is that as long as Jerry and the gang stick around, we can expect to be treated very well...After that, hell - it's a crap-shoot, I don't think anybody knows. But a change in managment won't be happening tomorrow, or the next day, or anywhere in the near-future.

You've complete reiterated my point. Yes it is a stretch but it's not that far off from examples set a million times over in our industries history. So saying SKW is different is correct but to say they will never pull the same moves is denial. My point above is that we don't know and things have started to slip here at SKW, so taking steps to protect us is having good foresight and IF MGMNT IS WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE then ALPA shouldn't matter. If Mgmnt changes their ways then we know we made the right decision, if they don’t then we continue to show them our support by working hard and maintaining our vocal support.
