Further, once your MEC ratified the post-strike TA, it was immediately back to work--you didn't even have membership ratification at that time (DAL didn't either until 1996).
So while I salute you over a well-conducted (and needed) strike, I would contend that it was a fair at best financial result, and one that today would probably be roundly criticized.
