Then it's pretty close.
The only way we won't get SWA+ W-2's is if we accept a concessionary contract. That's all fine and fair if we vote for it I suppose, but we should make sure that if we vote for a concessionary contract we at least admit what we are voting for.
BTW compounded inflation gets backed out of any and all claims of "conctractual increases" as we will not fall for that trick anymore.
