They already did.
Also, IMO, a contract extension sounds good in a vacume, but really bad in the real world. If we extended the contract with small gains, that would be the contract we'd have to live with for the extended NMB induced drawn out contract - especially if Mgmt gets their way on a future acquisition.
We are (roughly) one acquisition from being done building the network. After that happens, Mgmt doesn't care about "happy labor."
