We already had that opportunity when BB put 190 rates on the white board during the LOA 67 negotiations.
They were higher in both seats and every year of longevity than your current rates, but we still said no thanks for a variety of reasons.
One reason was the fact that we didn't want to negatively impact your current negotiations. Had we known that the IBT was going to sue us in an effort to overturn the LOA, I am pretty sure you would see 190 rates in our CBA and 190's on the F9 certificate.
