You forgot the highlight the best part....

We also hope to achieve our objectives without theadded expense and distraction of having to ask the court to intervene byrejecting our collective bargaining agreements under Section 1113 of theBankruptcy Code – as virtually all other airlines have done before (and asAmerican Airlines is currently seeking to do)

The half-wit is actually trying to dangle the carrot of a "1113" as an incentive to give whatever concessions maangement asks for.

Who in their right mind would ever believe that the company will not 100% go for the 1113 motion, trying to throw out the JCBA? Also, what moron would think that by agreeing in full to these concessions would prevent a 1113 request.

Let him ask for the 1113, and while he is asking he can explain those raises that he and Johnny S received.
