Does that not sound weird to you? Is one really to believe that the company's financial viability and ability to operate is solely dependant on pilot labor concessions, otherwise shutdown? Somethin is seriously screwy with that picture, and it isn't pilot pay. And a 7 year agreement? Assuming 9E makes it and does well in the future, how much you want to bet that management will line up their pockets with pay increases and bonuses, while pilots continue to serve all 7 years under this agrement. I refuse to believe that a company's business model can depend solely on "making it" through pilot wage cuts.
