Of course, you don't expect F&H to give the company all the right answers on day one, then what profit would F&H earn? I wonder, with all the company's complaints on needing to be more cost effective and reducing the cost of block hours, how much of what they waste on union busting would they have been able to reallocate to employee compensation? With that said, had they negotiated in good faith from the beginning, how much sooner would they have been able to come with labor costs for future CPA's? I mean isn't that what they complain about, not being able to bid for contracts because they don't know their labor costs?
