I'm writing an ALPA dictionary if anyone wants to contribute. You can use it to decode the email that should arrive this week or next.

"opportunity": the chance to make something worse

"not in a hurry": hair on fire, must be done tomorrow whether it's good or not

"negotiation": giving up one thing to get something less

"make no mistake": the next thing I say will probably be untrue

"no": negative, but not to be used in conversations with management

"management": the future employment of ALPA presidents

"poker": terrible analogy for a contract survey

"significant": in keeping with the US Consumer Price Index

"profit sharing": sharing our profits with management, used to acquire "significant" raises in "negotiation" (see above)

What am I missing?
