And Bill, one more thing. I spoke to AG the C44 S/T after the LEC Meeting. Whether you think your expectations are being managed or not, we will not overcome the NMBs idea of "reasonable". American had been parked, and USAPA is parked by the NMB because they are not even making progress on small stuff.
If American takes a hit on pay, and USAPA continues in purgatory, and United doesn't make any progress, we have a whole new perspective on "reasonable" from the NMB.
Strategically, we should get our contract done as quickly as possible, if it takes us above SWA in pay+DC, and live to fight another day. Keep the contract short so that is a possibility.
