excuse the pessimism...
A few things from their attempt to negotiate in public:
-They capped their proposal at 255 90 seat jets. That should tell you that 1) the 100 seat jets is off the table, it will be mainlines, and 2) it will not be anywhere near that.
-They are probably eight months from SOC and therefore have plenty of time to play these stupid games. They do not want to do anything now that there is movement at AMR.
-I am just telling you what a few of my buddies were briefed after they came back from their voluntarily leaves.
This combined group will not take a half attempt, and are motivated to see results at the table. They will save the internal bloodletting for the SLI.
