Zooropa,
I have some friends at F9 that I discussed this whole negotiating subject with. The problem is you guys have never had to deal with a management working on a CBA for 6 years overdue... I seriously don't wish it to you but your time will come and we shall see how long it will take you to negotiate a new CBA..
Unfortunately it will be another 'we need to lower our costs' before your CBA becomes amandable..

If you don't lose the sight that we are in this together, I'd appreciate it..
