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.
We had the leverage of corporation, but they could have gone around that and called our bluff. They could has structured NWA as a holding company differently if we wanted to play hard ball, and we had no history of a viable corporation. Em the facts, and even with the facts we got something. We had a section 6, but not in the traditional sense. Now we are approaching a full section six, and our leverage is given though that, and the corporation we helped create. Big difference. UCAL gets their section 6 and the merger at the same time. We did not.
