And you were compared to today.
For those that weren't around pre-c2k, we had a contractual item 3B6 wherein, we had to agree on payrates before the aircraft could be operated. This gave us great leverage when negotiating 73N and 777 rates.
This section of the contract is gone now, but we didn't need it for the last contract...For the (hope of growth) used 717s, we signed a COLA contract. My, how things have changed.
