As I understand it, the union has already warned the company of the shenanigans that could go on if they proceed down this path. Meaning, they should not be held responsible.

I hear you brother.....It has the potential for a HUGE disaster all the way around.

As far as the rumored L-CAL $$Profit Sharing$$, I don't mean to come across as a prima donna when looking a "gifted horse in the mouth". My major point/concen is that there some pilots out there (I'm sure on both sides) that would take the $$ and not think twice about the additional months of negotiating this will buy Mgt as they kick the "JCBA can" down the road. I'm sure you know exactly what I'm preaching, the apathy of some amazes me.

If this rumor is found to be true, can't you almost hear Jeff saying:
"Is there something in this hand (Profit Sharing), that can make you forgot about what's in this other hand (JCBA)???"
