If they're going to declare bankruptcy and get concessions from you guys, its going to happen no matter what happens here. You can take cuts now and take even more cuts later, or you can just play chicken with them and see if they'll actually go the bankruptcy route.

Pinnacle pilots fought way too hard for way too long making way too little money to ever EVER give anything back to that company. Make all the money you can til the last day, don't give a single cent. Make them realize they're looking to the wrong people for money to fix their own mistakes.

And you need to make it clear to your union leadership that giving even a single inch on any issue will result in a decertification of ALPA. Concessions cannot be tolerated.
