Different perspective, and these numbers, and this thread, are about the former non-bankruptcy affected numbers.
Like I said, if you like comparing raises from bankruptcy numbers, that's a different point and another thread.
I know everybody likes to "cheerlead" on these types of blog boards but without "snapbacks" negotiated in each contract...good luck.
Without "snapbacks," your basis for negotiating and settlement are three things...where your existing contracts are, where the industry contracts are and where they're going, and, what the economy's doing.
Sorry, not my idea nor necessarily my position. It comes right out of Herndon and the US Government (NMB). Been there, taken the classes (and a few others).
