Thinking we're going to get offsets to all the negatives in the NNP is Nevil Chamberlain-esque in its optimism. I see nothing to indicate that trajectory and lots to the contrary. Yet what we get, as bad as it may be, will be agressively sold as an all around win or at the very least "the best we could get". Every CBA in history always is. But I think what's coming our way real soon is going to suck for the sake of expediency and be spun as a good deal.

Significant staffing relief? More DC-9 replacement jets at DCI? Hopefully the reps will nip that in the bud but I suspect they will be strongly pressured to send it to us. Either way, if its the POS many deduct that its going to be,
