You can't have it both ways, either the company is telling the truth or it's not. Re:
Company: "If you don't sign this TA, we don't get 717's"
Vocal opposition: "BS, we are getting them anyway."
Company: "We will have to spend money on mx for old RJ's if we can't renegotiate their leases. "
Vocal opposition: "BS, they're gonna park em anyway."
Company: "This is all the money that's on the table for Contract 2012.
Vocal opposition: "BS, we have leverage, we're just afraid to use it."
Company: "This TA is cost neutral."
Vocal opposition: "This TA is cost neutral."
Which way is it fellas? RA and the board are obviously doing their best to raise the stock price, ie dividends, etc . Does anyone REALLY believe that no matter WHAT contract 2012 cost, that management wouldn't spin it any other way but positive?
