And as far as this fantasy that there are a bunch of pilots who want CDOs, show me some numbers. I've never been polled about it, nor have I ever heard one pilot express an interest in doing them. We have approximately 12000 pilots, so unless 6001 want them included in our contract, my belief is that they shouldn't even be a consideration.
Very well said! Think back to the number of times these things end up going in the pilots favor? They end up much different than what was discussed in negotiations or even sold by the NC/MEC. The company can and will exploit these open ended, poorly written agreements on line at a time. Then we can say "didn't see that coming" and "we'll get em next time"....when the company has what they want and is no longer interested in "constructive engagement".
