I'm pretty sure Menke and friends knows that if this goes to the pilots for a vote it will be a big "H#$% Fu#king NO", and I'm sure the Union guys know that if they allow this concession to happen without letting the pilot group vote, their days will be numbered. This is a chess game and the company is thinking 10 moves ahead of us lowly money hoarding pilots. IMO, bankruptcy is imminent and the company will end up getting more like 8% from the pilots and 11-09 will be canceled. Also, they will get the union to agree to omit that one little pesky sentence in the contract that deals with displacements, you know, the one that states the company must allow secondaries.
