How about you judge what happens after UCAL gets another agreement, and then we are at bat. Making a representational decision off of a CH11 deal is very short sighted.
ACL;
This is not directed at you at all, but the part of your statement that I bolded has been stuck in my gizzard for awhile as jus a little nagging gizzard irritation.
You recognize that we did not get a lot of things in our section 6 without a section 6. I recall very clearly being told by the DALPA spokespeople that we did not have leverage then and we were leveraging what we could.
As I reflect back on those heady days, I cannot think of a time in the past, or imagine a time in the future, where we would have more leverage.
Just a thought, and your post brought it to the surface.
Also, I just like the word gizzard.
