It's not the best deal by any stretch of the imagination however, it's a very good deal considering the economic environment we are in, what our counterparts at other major carriers are receiving now (the NMB WILL take this into consideration), and the expansion of mainline and simultaneous and significant overall reduction in DCI. Although I can't say for certain, I am confident that turning this thing down will not work out well for us and we will be kicking ourselves in the butt for years to come because of all of the mainline lift we will lose behind that bad decision. We are still losing money behind the initial rejection of the JCBA. Who's bright idea was that. It is my personal observation that RA is no pushover and is able to make a BUSINESS decision. Can we? It's not about fear, but a BUSINESS decision.
