You are arguing semantics.

Can we agree right now you have NO protection at all? That with a stroke of an email key everything can change? That they probably already have the code share agreement in place by whats been said during the investor call in and quarterly reports? That they expect you to pay for your raise with give backs?

How about this? Can we agree that through a union the american pilots were able to protect themsevles down from imposed unlimited domestic codeshare to 50% and then down to 5% in the combined UsAirways LOA? That without their union they like us would have been at the mercy of thier management? That they wihout thier union would have unlimited codehare right now?

Unions can prevent codeshare as well. SWAPA has done it for years.
