This is one of the reasons you get properly accused of scare tactics and expectations management. Our contract mandates NMB involvement 90 days after the amendable date. There is no way they will park us for 4 years and 9 months. No way. By March 2013 we'll be down to very few open items and very reasonable pay demands based on our company's massive profits and SWAPA's compensation. You do everyone a disservice (including the NMB) when you extrapolate the APA experience onto us.
