Every one of those choices are management's...not ours. We have no leverage via any job action to enact any of these desires because it involves Section 1. That, unfortunately, is the result of precedent set back in 1974.

We fought and struck over every inch of our contract Bar. You wouldn't know what that's like. I believe strongly in all unionized pilots having merger and fragmentation contract provisions. I believe most do.
You've been having White Russians for breakfast...haven't you.
